After the footsteps disappeared from the room.
Xia Yangyang could not help but cry.
But she didn't dare to sob loudly, just silently shedding tears.
Xia Yangyang couldn't remember when she last cried.
Ever since Xia Ye's arrival, she had felt as if she had put on a suit of armour.
No matter what, she could deal with it calmly.
Sometimes, she also felt fortunate.
She always thought that she has become the person she now wanted to be.
An untouchable supergirl.
But Xia Yangyang found out that Gu Qichen was her Achilles heel.
Just encountering him was enough to shatter her armour.
His light laughter as he was leaving is still in her mind.
Xia Yangyang knew that Gu Qichen had really given up.
Xia Yangyang felt that she should be glad.
Because it meant that she didn't have to be frightened or hide anymore.
For so many years, she was afraid that Gu Qichen would find out about her.
Afraid of Gu Qichen finding out about Xia Ye's existence.
