Yan Qingsi looked down and said, "Sorry…"
Su Xiaosan's reminder forced Yan Qingsi to face the cruel reality she refused to.
She was in a tight spot, and she was walking towards a trap — her journey either involves her being destroyed, or her destroying herself. Why did she have to drag others along?
Su Xiaosan realized that as a man, he should not be saying such things to Yan Qingsi, but he had to do it.
"If anything I said hurt Miss Yan, I apologise, but please understand how we feel as family, my aunt really likes you, but because of that, I hope you consider her wellbeing."
Yan Qingsi knew everything Su Xiaosan wanted to say, and she could understand it. It was only human, no one could really debate it.
However, Yan Qingsi felt horrible listening to it.
She cut Su Xiaosan off. "Stop, I understand… I asked for too much…"
Yan Qingsi turned around and left. Her shadow seemed vulnerable under the sun.
