Xuefeng glanced at the pretty face of Jiao and saw the same pain everyone else did. The pain of someone in love.
He felt the same way back on Earth where he loved Tianshi yet they couldn't be together. Some of him wanted to end that pain Jiao felt but was it fair?
He didn't love her like he did any of his wives and they were not at that kind of stage yet. Seeing her behavior now, Xuefeng had other reasons to be sceptical about her. She needed to change.
"Sigh…" Xuefeng took a deep breath and decided to help her with that. It wasn't like he didn't care for her at all.
She didn't want to make it private so Xuefeng wasn't reserved anymore. He leaned over to her, took her hand to his own and asked, "But isn't it the life you chose for yourself?"
