Ye Yuwei sat on the stairs and rested her head on Gu Juexi's shoulder. "In the earlier days, you were scared that you would harm me when you lost control. That's why you drove me away from you, wasn't it?"

Gu Juexi remained silent.
When he first learned about the incident, he thought about rage, he thought about cutting ties with Ye Yuwei, he even thought about shifting his hatred onto Ye Yuwei.
