"You were being muddleheaded!" Yu Lili scolded through clenched teeth. Evident in her heart and eyes was the intense disappointed she felt toward Wen Fenglin's actions and choices.
It was the first time in Wen Fenglin's life that he had been admonished by a girl so young. But, he wasn't embarrassed. He was instead overcome by guilt and self-condemnation.
"After the country was established, Xian'er family went into the timber business," he said. "They were very influential in the G province. Of course, as their only daughter, Xian'er was very loved and cherished. The background of the Zhen family in those days was comparable to theirs, and there was already a prior betrothal contract between the two families."
In other words, it was he who was the third party.
"Argh!" Just listening to Wen Fenglin's story made Yu Lili's blood boil, but she couldn't think of anything else to say.
