Under that gloomy gaze, Cai Wei had a moment of bewilderment. This man, from the first time she saw him, had always been carefree and playful, viewing the world as a game, or he was an elegant, leisurely, noble young master. She had never seen him with such an attitude, tone, or expression before.
"Is it because of Huo Yuan?"
He continued to ask.
Cai Wei fell silent. She was truly speechless by him. She had already told him that she did not want to marry him, that he didn't need to take responsibility, yet he still relentlessly pursued the matter. Who she had feelings for was none of his business, was it?
"Is it because of Huo Yuan?"
He persisted, repeating the question.
Such persistence, to the point where she felt obliged to respond.
"Yes!"
She answered against her will, not for any other reason, but just to extinguish his hopes and expectations. Now that he had developed such feelings for her, let her find a shield to make him give up.
"Hehe, very well."
