Winston smiled bitterly in silence. It was already very good that Qingqing didn't blame him for forcibly mating with her. And she even regarded him as a friend. He ought to feel content.
But why did his heart ache so terribly?
Bai Qingqing continued, "The relationship between Winston and I is more like kinship. After we became spouses, my attitude towards him seems to have changed a little. But… since he's already my mate, he would be too pitiful if I simply regard him as a tool for hard manual labor."
The killing intent in Curtis's eyes vanished completely, and his expression grew gentler. "You're too softhearted."
But if Snow wasn't so softhearted, he wouldn't have received so much affection in response. Hence, he could accept such an explanation.
Bai Qingqing's taut nerves finally eased. At last, a conflict was averted.
