Seeing Su Hongxing remain silent, a deeper chill entered Ye Qilan's eyes: "Did I guess what's on your mind and now you have nothing to say?"
"Why would I stay by your side to suffer if you didn't treat me well?!" At this point, Su Hongxing can neither advance nor retreat.
She always told herself, not to do too much, but not to do nothing, either. The appearance of a variable, Cao Shiyu, provided an opportunity for her to leave Ye Qilan.
Regrettably, she was not experienced enough and inadvertently voiced her thoughts, thereby making Ye Qilan suspicious.
Now that things have come to this point, she can no longer lie and say that she does not want to leave. After all, Ye Qilan is not a fool; if she would pretend to be welcoming, he would see through her.
A mix of truth and lies is often more convincing.
