But what he truly felt was not the one they thought,
It was something deep,
No one could ever know who it was.

"I should have believed you, for starters. It's not like betrayal can kill someone," Lei Jie admitted while staring at her azure eyes.
Mei creased her forehead and doubting what he had said. For all she knew, Lei Jie doesn't want to trust anybody. His parents were the only ones on whom he had faith and assurance. Emperor Li Jing and Empress Zhang Lian would never betray him for anything. He was their son.
