Chapter 1522: Chapter 849: It’s Hard to Be a Good Person
Although Qin Yuan felt this way in his heart, his face did not betray these thoughts.
His entire demeanor was calm, not even his eyes blinked.
He simply glanced at the bald man without speaking.
His silence irked the bald man somewhat, yet it also made him feel somewhat uneasy.
The bald man took a deep breath and looked at the girl again, realizing what the reason was.
But the bald man was not someone willing to admit defeat so easily, so he immediately curved the corners of his lips and slowly continued speaking.
“Big brother, I truly do want to learn how to play chess. Why aren’t you speaking? Do you think I’m too stupid, so you’re unwilling to teach me?”
“Actually, I don’t think you’re that kind of person. How could you possibly think our rebellion is weak? You never looked down on us from beginning to end.”
“Otherwise, you wouldn’t have called us ‘little brothers.’ I really trust your character, and even more so, I trust your personal integrity.”
Qin Yuan listened to these words expressionlessly; he understood the bald man’s intentions now.
Isn’t it just playing up to someone here?
It’s really just about who wants to assert their presence here.
It’s not genuinely about wanting to learn chess at all — that’s just an excuse.
Just then, Qin Yuan slightly raised his eyebrows.
“Bald man, do you think that by wanting to learn chess from me, you can do it without any price? There has to be a price to pay, otherwise, how can it work? Don’t you think I’m right? I’ve put it all out there, you should know what I’m thinking.”
“So I won’t say much more here. After all, you know perfectly well what the situation is, what else can I say?”
Qin Yuan’s meaning was quite clear; he was asking the bald man to let the girl go.
Don’t keep holding onto the girl. Isn’t it just because you think you have a bargaining chip that you’re gripping her so tightly?
If he continues to demand, will the bald man still have a bargaining chip?
Crescent Moon suddenly let out a cold laugh, her face showing a trace of scorn.
“Bald man, you wouldn’t really think you have leverage, do you? You’re truly too naive. Didn’t you listen to a word I said?”
“I’ve already said that I only care about myself. After all, no one can sway my status.”
“Only I can hold myself in high regard. You might not believe it, but I don’t need to emphasize it so much here either.”
Crescent Moon just wanted the bald man to know that the daughter wasn’t important to her.
So, the bald man would give up on that idea and not keep holding onto the daughter anymore.
Just at this moment, the bald man furrowed his brows slightly, his face displaying an extremely annoyed expression.
“Crescent Moon, what are you talking about? I was just discussing chess with the big brother, why are you taking it somewhere else?”
“I don’t want to discuss this matter right now. Why are you dragging it elsewhere? This is really not right.”
“Moreover, how could you only love yourself? You must love your daughter. No matter what, she is your daughter; how could you not love her?”
Crescent Moon’s words were a bit muddled just now.
So he made his point clearly and plainly, something the little girl could clearly understand now.
She surely couldn’t fail to understand these words; Crescent Moon would panic now, wouldn’t she?
After all, clearly stating these words would hurt the little girl.
Right then, the little girl blinked and looked at Crescent Moon with a puzzled expression.
Crescent Moon noticed this look and a flash of fear crossed her face.
That wasn’t what she meant at all.
The bald man was speaking nonsense again.
Still, Crescent Moon quickly displayed a faint smile.
“You mustn’t listen to what this uncle is saying. He’s just fooling around here, his words are not at all credible.”
“Why don’t you stop letting him hold you? Don’t you feel that he’s not that strong? His body is all soft now, and if you let him keep holding you like this.”
“I’m afraid he won’t have the strength to do magic tricks for you later on, so better let mommy hold you, or if not, let that uncle who plays chess hold you.”
Crescent Moon didn’t clarify her feelings for the daughter.
And from the beginning, she hadn’t taken those words to heart.
If she reveals her feelings now, wouldn’t that be self-contradictory?
She categorically could not do that.
What she needed most now was to stay alert, so the words she spoke had to be vague and unclear.
Moreover, the daughter wasn’t so observant. Being so young, she surely hadn’t grasped the crux of the matter.
Only the bald man would seize the key point, and perhaps he would deliberately bring up this issue.
At that moment, the bald man raised his eyebrows slightly and a radiant smile appeared on his face.
“Crescent Moon, you’re really considering my feelings here, aren’t you? You don’t have to worry about me too much, I truly have no issues right now.”
“And the girl is so light, how could I possibly not hold her steadily? That’s simply not an issue, you’re truly underestimating me.”
“And why haven’t you expressed love to the girl? Do you really dislike her? What on earth is going on here?”
Actually, the bald man said this on purpose, having finally found the opportunity.
How could he not seize the moment to say these things deliberately? If he didn’t take this opportunity.
Wouldn’t he be letting it slip away?
