He had hated her for marrying such a pathetic man for money, and now he was furious that the man she married had mistreated her so badly.
If he had not controlled himself, he would have run up, knocked him on the ground, and beaten him to a pulp; however, he couldn't do that. To be more specific, he dared not to do that.
He had been afraid that the affection he felt toward her and that he had hidden from everyone would be too apparent. Running up to him would have been like detonating a bomb.
He had been afraid that he would be fighting against his own morals and against her family if he had asked her to leave with him, even though her reputation would be ruined if she had agreed.
Qin Jiayan had a lump in his throat, making it difficult to breathe.
