Zhao Ming looked at Ji Cheng as she felt bad for him. His complexion has turned pale as he remembered all the things that he has bottled up inside his heart for all this time.
He has never shared his feelings and how he felt during that period. He was afraid of telling her all of this, fearing that she think of him as weak and incompetent.
However, now he doesn't care about this anymore. He has realised that nothing is as important for him than her. If he tries to maintain his image and will never share his deep secrets with her, then there is no way that they will be able to share their lives with each other.
Ji Cheng continued as he said, " After bringing Xiao Li, I had to make a few more marriage alliances but they were not as powerful as L country. That's why mother favoured Xiao Li more."
