Su Ci hung his head, his eyes brimming with coldness. "Even with such a great honor, Song Ling has not treated Daidai well in these three years. So, what right does he have to possess her?"
Hate welled up in Su Ci's heart, but it was directed at himself.

From his pocket, he took out a pendant Gu Dai had once given him and whispered, "Daidai, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side to protect you, whether or not you choose to be with me."

Especially Zhang Zhen's evasive glances which seemed to hide something from her.
Gu Dai lowered her eyes and asked, "Uncle Zhang, is there something you need to tell me?"
