Wu Lina needed him to be around her, so when he followed her she didn't protest. When Yang Chúnqiàn had thrown her out of the house, she felt lonely all over again. Only Yang Xinyu was there for her.

"Mm?" he looked up at her with tenderness.

Yang Xinyu was overwhelmed, "I will never. I'm so, so sorry that this happened and I will spend every day and every hour making sure that you never feel this way ever again."
