"If you can't make a promise, then don't give her hope! She's still young, she doesn't understand the true meaning of marriage. If I keep giving her hope, she might really fall for it, and then the hurt will only be greater!"
That's what happened with Bai Zi, she was unclear about her feelings yet she kept leading me on.
With each step, I fell deeper and deeper. When I finally pulled out, it was as painful as if I was picking out my own bones.
He doesn't want this young, tender girl to go through that kind of pain again.
It's simply too cruel.
Xiaotao seems to somewhat understand, "Now that you are a Lord too, you could marry the fifth lady of the Bai family, it would be a good match, right?"
Shen Cong laughed, "You underestimate Lord Bai Xiang's ambition!"
Having said that, he turned and started to walk inside.
Xiaotao followed him, only to notice Bai Lu's cloak on the ground.
She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Lord, what should we do with this cloak?"
