The thought of having been in a relationship with such a vile woman for so long gave him a chill down his spine.
He looked at Leng Peini as if he didn't recognize her. He said in a strange tone, "In my eyes, albeit you're hot-tempered, I never thought you were manipulative. I prefer directness, frankness. That's why I dislike women playing tricks, and I thought you were straightforward. That was to my taste. Hence, I could tolerate your temper. I thought, despite being bad-tempered, you were... pure."
Ye Xingli shook his head in self-mockery, "Pure? How could such a term suit you? Just over an unfounded incident, you could heartlessly jeopardize a human life. I suppose your heart has turned as dark as coal."
"No... I didn't mean it... I didn't... I've not done it..." Leng Peini's face paled, shaking her head to Ye Xingli's accusations.
She wished so much she had been wrongly accused.
She wished she hadn't done anything.
