Chapter 14: What I Want Is Not a Doll!

I don’t want a doll!

“Sometimes, you must tolerate things you dislike, and you must also do things you are unwilling to do.

You must know that a mother will not always stand behind you to protect you.

The road ahead—most of the time, you will have to walk it yourself. Do you understand this?!”

Anya’s voice was earnest and filled with deep concern.

Feng Yu naturally understood this.

Ever since her father died, she had known the hardships her mother had faced.

The reason she entered the empire’s underworld, joined the Dark Thorn, and climbed to the position of leader was precisely because she did not want to fail the expectations this woman had for her.

If there was anyone in this world she truly cared about, that person was undoubtedly Anya!

This woman, whose inner strength was in no way inferior to her beautiful appearance, had long ago touched Feng Yu’s heart without her even realizing it.

Over the course of four years, from being strangers to now being in tune with one another, Feng Yu had long since regarded her as her true mother in the depths of her heart.

Lifting her face to meet Anya’s pair of deep, dark brown eyes, Feng Yu nodded solemnly.

“Rest assured, I will absolutely not let anyone harm you or anything you care about!”

Anya smiled with gratification; that smile was breathtakingly beautiful.

Pulling Feng Yu into her embrace, she gently patted her daughter’s back.

“I know, my Yu’er will not let me down!

I have already instructed the butler to send someone to retrieve the dress I ordered for you; it will be just right for tonight’s ball!”

Lifting her face from Anya’s embrace, Feng Yu gazed at her face with a serious expression.

“Mother, I want to know, must I marry that Long Qi?!”

Looking at her daughter with maternal love, Anya curled her lips slightly.

“Is Long Qi not handsome enough for you?!”

Feng Yu shook her head lightly, her tone carrying a hint of mockery.

“What I want is a lover, not a pretty doll!”
