She had already been hurt enough. Why was she so foolish, seeking trouble by provoking him and adding to her own problems?
Only now did Jian Yufei understand a little. Not provoking him was a form of protection for herself.
She slowly straightened her body, turned sideway to face him, lowered her gaze and showed no emotion on her face.
"Alright, I'm to blame. You've punished me already, can you let Aunt Li and the others go?"
The topic had come full circle, back to where it began.
Ruan Tianling's lips curled into a wicked smirk, and he coldly retorted: "Why should I let them go?"
"It was my decision to go out, they had nothing to do with it! If you're upset, take it out on me. Don't involve the innocent!"
"I didn't wrong them. I ordered them to keep an eye on you and forbid you from leaving. They deliberately disobeyed me. Did I pay them to go against my orders?!"
