In the face of all the fingers pointing at her, at a time when everyone was convinced that she had done it, no matter how Ye Youyou tried to explain or voice her version of the events, no matter how regretful she had been, Shen Luo'an hadn't believed her.
Shen Luo'an was a person whose mind was hard to change once he had decided on something. Ye Youyou knew that well. She knew that regardless of how much she hated it, and how much resentment she felt, she was powerless to change anything.
That feeling of helplessness had continued for a long time. Up until now, Ye Youyou had never even considered the possibility of whether Shen Luo'an might have liked or even loved her. So many years had passed, and the hopes that had once been had long disappeared into nothingness.
