Upon hearing this, Bai Xiexie was also startled, her movements stiffening as she bit her lip. Her eyes brimmed with faint tears while she silently stared at Luo Haiming, unable to speak.
Under normal circumstances, if Bai Xiexie looked like this, Luo Haiming would naturally feel heartache. But now...
With a restless inhalation of smoke, Luo Haiming let out a bitter chuckle amidst the spreading haze. "Xixi, actually, I know that incident at the entertainment city... it was orchestrated by Grandma, and you also..."
"Haiming! I... Listen to me!"
"I've never been able to let you go because I haven't the heart to be cruel to you. I know how you've been using me... I'm fully aware that you love Fan Lingjue deeply, yet I still harbored improper thoughts toward you. All these years, you've treated me as a backup, and I've never complained..."
Luo Haiming's strained voice conveyed more of his suppressed bitterness.
