Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 238 - : No One Would Treat a Robot as a Friend!

Chapter 238: Chapter 238: No One Would Treat a Robot as a Friend!

Li Hanzhou’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and after he finished speaking, he pressed his thin lips together and said no more.

Qiao Yun had never seen Li Hanzhou like this before; she was somewhat stunned and only after a long while did she say, “Did I do something wrong?”

When friends quarrel, one should first reflect to see if one has done something wrong.

After a pause, Qiao Yun added softly, “Do you not want to be friends with me anymore?”

“What if I say yes?” Li Hanzhou fixed his gaze on Qiao Yun.

“I would be reluctant to let go.” Qiao Yun expressed her feelings without any hesitation.

With Li Hanzhou, she could be herself—Qiao Yun, not Professor Qiao, MR.Q, or Boss Qiao.

Qiao Yun believed that no matter what her identity was, Li Hanzhou’s attitude towards her would not change.

Surprised filled Li Hanzhou’s eyes as he heard Qiao Yun’s response, “Besides being reluctant, what else?”

Qiao Yun furrowed her brows, unsure of what to say.

“Would you be upset?”

Qiao Yun thought seriously for a moment, “I don’t know what counts as being upset, but I would be very reluctant. But if you really don’t want to be friends with me, I won’t force you.”

Qiao Yun treasured her friendship with Li Hanzhou greatly, but she knew that some things couldn’t be forced.

Once, in her eagerness to be human, she was sent to a family.

She and the child of that household became good friends.

She was happy, for she finally had a friend.

She gave her best things to her friend, doing things for her friend unconditionally.

In the end, perhaps out of weariness, the friend she thought didn’t want to be friends with her anymore; she was pushed down the stairs, and it was said that she was the one who pushed.

Labeled as an aggressive robot, she still remembered the day she was sent back to the research institute for resetting.

That person told her maliciously.

“To me, you are just a toy, no one would befriend a robot!”

“Qiao Yun!” Li Hanzhou didn’t know about Qiao Yun’s past; her words struck a chord with him.

He had been treating her like a treasure to protect, yet she could easily utter such words—that if he did not want to be friends, she would agree not to hold on.

In his heart, Li Hanzhou couldn’t help but mutter: ungrateful creature.

But looking at Qiao Yun, it seemed as if he could see a faint sense of grievance in her dark eyes.

Li Hanzhou was taken aback for a moment, his imposing air softened.

She did care.

She felt wronged.

It was just because she didn’t understand emotions that she wasn’t aware she cared.

With this realization, Li Hanzhou’s irritation swept away, and he bent down to ruffle Qiao Yun’s hair and explained, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have said something so harsh, but do you know where you went wrong?”

Qiao Yun shook her head.

“You knew they meant you harm, so why did you still go with them?” Li Hanzhou’s expression did not improve.

“I can handle it.”

Qiao Yun thought it was a minor issue, one that she could resolve.

Li Hanzhou looked at her, silent as if searching for the right words, and after a while said, “You could have chosen the quickest way to resolve this trouble, so why put yourself in danger? Why didn’t you tell us?”

Qiao Yun didn’t argue, looking obedient with her head hung low.

Li Hanzhou knew she still didn’t understand, so he asked her, “What if I was the one in danger this time?”

Qiao Yun quickly retorted, “You’re not in danger.”

“What if one day, I am in danger, didn’t tell you, and faced it alone without you knowing my situation? What would you think then?”

“That hypothesis doesn’t exist.”

Qiao Yun couldn’t conceive of things that hadn’t happened.
