She still didn't leave, silently squatting down again to clean up the spilled food on the floor.
Jin Chengzhi watched her demean herself in such a way, feeling an inexplicable sourness in his heart.
"Why?" he asked her weakly, "Why endure such humiliation and burden? Is it worth it? For a man who doesn't like you."
Mu Xiangning, who was dealing with the food on the floor, paused, looking up to meet his red, indifferent eyes, and her heart trembled with pain.
"It's worth it, as long as it's for you, I think it's very worth it."
She couldn't help herself and, despite saying only a few words, tears still uncontrollably fell.
She pursed her lips, wiped away her tears with her head lowered, and added, "I won't cling to you. As soon as you're discharged from the hospital and better, I will leave you, staying far away, and you will never have to see me again in this lifetime."
"..."
Jin Chengzhi looked at her, and hearing her words, suddenly he thought of himself.
