Xuan Ying pinched her jaw, forcing her to turn her face. He was irritated, but once his gaze landed on her face, he froze.
Her face was covered in tears.
She was crying.
His heart wrenched in pain, it really hurt but he showed a sardonic smile. "Why are you crying? You're feeling aggrieved that I'm marrying Shi Xiaoxiao?"
Feng Lingxue sobbed quietly, looking at him with teary eyes.
"What do you want? You want me to marry you? Do you even know how hard it was for me to get to this position? I had to risk my life to exchange for this glory. If I were to marry you, the top social escort of Ah Jiao's Room, as my Duchess, what can you do for me? How are you going to help me?
"Shi Xiaoxiao's father is a great general who wields enormous influence. If I marry her, I don't need to work as hard but how about you? You betrayed me once and forsook me, isn't it enough that I've given you another chance?"
