Qiao Xia's emotions remained unsettled. Everything Gu Xixi had told Mu Liang was factual, yet she concealed many things, such as their pretense turning real, her desire for a divorce stemming from their mutual hatred, his rescue of her because he loved her, not out of moral duty. After Gu Xixi returned, Mu Liang had already chosen her and not Gu Xixi. All of this Gu Xixi did not tell Mu Liang...
"What, everything she said was not correct?" Mu Liang sneered at her, adopting an all-ears expression. His mocking demeanor was all too familiar to Qiao Xia, as she had seen it many times, yet she had never imagined that one day Mu Liang would treat her like this.
"Don't tell me you're saying you love me!"
Qiao Xia bit her lip hard, unable to utter the humiliating words. She knew that the moment she admitted it, given Mu Liang's harshness, he would wound her beyond repair. However, her feelings were true, surpassing the pride she desperately wanted to preserve.
