"As long as I agree to his demand, K.Y will leave you unharmed. The situation was dangerous at the time and I didn't have the time to save you in the Imperial City. I had no choice, I had to..."
Huo Sichen's gaze dropped, his smooth clean cheek hidden behind his hair, unable to discern his expression.
But Li Susu heard the urgency in his voice.
She nervously asked, "What did you agree to with Zhao Qinyi?"
"He asked me to marry Bai Ziyue. I understand him, unable to hold onto his love, he doesn't want others to be happy. But for your safety, I had to agree at the time."
Li Susu's heart ached.
The man before her, seemingly cold and noble, his life should have been smooth sailing, but for her sake, he was forced to compromise and be coerced.
Guilt filled her eyes with hot tears.
Sadness, shame, countless feelings of guilt towards him emerged one after another.
All her previous grievances seemed to have disappeared.
She blamed herself to no end.
