Pick Up a Son, Get a Free Husband 6

Chapter 1087: A Beautiful Past

Damn it! She was too emotional and had accidentally blurted that out. No matter if it was Kai or Chaerin or Chairman, if it was something she liked, she would get it. She could not show that she actually coveted the Kim family's inheritance...

Thus, Krystal revealed a hurt expression and quickly covered up, "Kai, how can you say that about me? If I really wanted the Kim family's assets, would I need to work so hard? I'm just feeling very sad. I always thought of myself as a part of the Kim family and I prioritize the Kim family for everything, yet it turns out that they had always treated me as an outsider! And there's you too, Kai, I want to marry you grandly. I want everyone to say that you married a good wife!"

Kai's expression softened when he heard this. "Krystal, I understand where you're coming from, but you don't have to worry. If you're Kai's woman, no one will dare say you aren't good enough. You don't have to worry about being scorned when you marry me. I will explain to my parents!"

"Kai, thank you... Thank you for always being by my side..." Krystal could only temporarily suppress all her dissatisfaction and anger, obediently leaning into his embrace. When Krystal was facing the other way, Kai lifted his head to look up at the study room's direction.

Through the window, he could still roughly see the silhouette of Jennie sitting on the chair. The image of that little girl from back then could not help but appear in his mind.

That girl who had carried him all the way while she sweated and her legs started to shake, yet promised to never leave him...

The girl who had picked fresh wildflowers for him every day...

The girl who had cooked delicious dishes so that he would eat his medicine obediently every day...

She was poor and wore clothes that had been mended many times and spoke shoddy language, yet the way she said it was beautiful and cute!

When had all of this begun to change?

From the day he was healed and picked up by his family, from the time he returned to the pretentious city, from when he was charmed by Krystal's beauty, all the good times that once were in his memories had become unacceptable...

But at this moment, why did he miss it so much?

He missed the girl's innocence, missed the way her eyes would sparkle and cling onto him when she stared at him...

At the Kim family's gate.

"Um... Aunty..." Jennie hesitated but still decided to call out to Qiutong.

"Hmm?" Qiutong who was about to open her car door paused her steps and looked at Jennie.

Jennie cleared her throat and walked up to her. "About today... Thank you."

No matter what, she still had to thank her.

Qiutong was nonchalant. "We're family. There's no need to thank me."

Jennie felt a mix of emotions hearing her say that they were family. She took a deep bow graciously. "I still want to thank you!"

As she watched the girl before her, Qiutong sighed, "Sadly, I was abroad that year. I didn't know many things and when I did, it was too late. I never would have thought that my cousin would be foolish to this extent. If I let him continue like this, the elder's hard-earned family business will fall into the hands of an outsider!"

As Qiutong said this, a hostile glint flashed in her eyes.

Jennir fell into deep contemplation.

At night, in Krystal's bedroom, Chaerin covered Krystal with her blanket, then turned around to close the door.

On the bed, Krystal, who was dozing off, immediately woke up again.
