"You can love whoever you want, Mengjie… anyone except Yong Liwei." He was almost begging. He held both her hands and brought them to his chest. "Don't risk your life for him. I don't want you to be in danger."
Just after he said the latter words, Lu Mengjie was reminded of what she promised Yong Liwei earlier that day.
"You are the risk, I'm willing to take."
It may be better to end their relationship early before they could fall deeper for each other but… she was not the type of person to back out from her promise. She has already decided to go for it. She was not going to eat back the words she told Yong Liwei just because she found out the truth, just because she has confirmed Si Hongqi's feelings.
