His voice was so low that Lan Mu, who was following behind, couldn't hear him. All he caught was Yan Yuanjing speak of a safe full of love letters from Yan Zao, watching the siblings whispering and talking in secret, he felt an urgent panic.
But who else would Yan Zao write love letters to back then, apart from Cheng Xingzhi?
It turned out that ever since he was a child, once he acknowledged their arranged marriage—when the elders told him he would marry Yan Zao when he grew up, that Yan Zao would be his future wife—he truly accepted their marriage arrangement in his heart, never once considering defiance or rejection.
It wasn't until she went abroad with Cheng Xingzhi that he truly believed she was dissatisfied with their arrangement.
He had thought he would be emotionally disturbed by Yan Zao and Cheng Xingzhi's departure, that he bore a grudge for three years, because he felt they had slapped his face, trampled on his dignity.
