Chương 54: Thorin's distrust for mortals

Zi Mei woke up from a nightmare to Thorin's gorgeous face looking down at her. She had asked him if he could love her and his face had immediately turned cold and expressionless.

"Lil Zi, we have been over this before," he replied her. "I don't believe in love but I can only say that I do care for you a lot, that should be sufficient,"

Zi Mei sighed, her heart hurt deeply from his words. She had already expected him to say that but still, she had foolishly hoped he would say something else. She closed her eyes and turned away from him, disentangling herself from him.
