"It's my fault." Qiao Yanze laughed hoarsely. "It's my arrogance and self-righteousness that caused this. It's also my selfishness in keeping you by my side that brought you so much pain that it exhausted all your patience with me."
Towards the end, his tone was almost self-deprecating.
Li Yinian's eyelashes trembled violently.
"It has nothing to do with you," she said subconsciously. "It's my fault for hiding it… Anyway, it's too late to say this now."
"Is it too late?" The man chuckled.
Li Yinian took a step back and broke free from his embrace. "I should go back to my room. You…"
She wanted to ask him never to see her again and not to disturb her life, but it seemed like there was no point even if she got his verbal guarantee.
Qiao Yanze seemed to know what she wanted to say.
