Feng Tianlan glanced at Xi Lin, who had her head bowed, and thought of Chen Xinyi. She did not know what would happen if she did not manage the feelings of those around her well.
"Helian, love is not something you can force. I love Mobai with all my heart. He is the love of my life. I would rather die than marry someone else. My feelings for him are as deep as yours - perhaps even deeper, but..."
Feng Tianlan paused to take a deep breath, "... But if he no longer loves me, and even if he reduces me to a life worse than death, I shall accept it and let go of my love for him. Love that is forced only results in tragedy. I love him for who he is, for the happiness, I see in his every thought and action. Even if I'm not the special someone who'll bring joy to his life, I will still let go."
