Ye Jinwen's hand, busy serving her fruit, froze.
And when he looked across in astonishment at the gentle girl, he saw only decisiveness and determination. For a moment, he felt a sense of relief.
Shen Yixin caressed her left hand with her right hand and heavily closed her eyes.
"Do you think you are the only one feeling guilty? Every time I see you, I can't help but remember Xi Xi, remember how my actions caused her to flee far away, caused her to lose her life. And despite not liking you, I was forced to marry you, forced to marry the man my best friend loved..."
Ye Jinwen was silent.
"I thought we, people like us, had little freedom in marriage. I thought I could tolerate it. But that day, when I saw Mr. Mo with Miss Lu, I realized that nothing is impossible in this world."
Shen Yixin took a deep breath and let go of a huge burden, her expression one of relief.
Ye Jinwen, with a furrowed brow, pushed her coffee cup towards her.
