She loved him, so Ai Muran understood him.
The last incident wasn't the first time she had erred in his hands. If Emperor Quan had almost given her a chance at the last charity gala, then after the "Transforming a Living Person" incident, he would definitely not let her off easily again. Yet in the end, he let her go and even kept the matter secret, preserving the dignity of her and the Ai family...
Although she hated, resented, and was angry, she wasn't completely foolish. She knew well enough like a mirror in her heart that, if not for Zhan Se's friendship with Ai Lun and Zhan Se's pleas on her behalf, she wouldn't possibly be comfortably sitting in her position at Juvenile Rehabilitation Center today.
This realization tortured her for a month before she managed to get over it.
The life of Ai Muran was worth less than a smile from Zhan Se. Such was the difference between them in the eyes of men.
