Her tone was very sad and a little self-deprecating.
"Xu Tian, I really don't want you to see me like this. In front of you, I feel very insecure, like I'm not good enough for you, I..."
Seeing her looking so pitiful, my heart clenched tightly, and I reached out to wrap her slender waist.
"Chen Rui, there's nothing for you to feel insecure about. You're beautiful as you are, and I never meant to look down on you."
"You...you really don't despise me?"
"Of course I don't despise you. You're innocent, so why care about others' opinions?"
I held her tightly, resting my face on her exposed belly, "But don't go to nightclubs anymore. If you need money, I can give you some."
"But..."
Chen Rui bit her lips, hesitating for a moment, then quietly nodded, "Okay, I promise you, I won't go to those places anymore. I'll never let you worry about me again."
She gently held my head, stroking my cheek.
