Dong Huiying was somewhat stupefied; she knew that Yixuan was referring to the words he had said to her before she had run away from home. Indeed, it was those very words that had made her start to believe that leaving would be better for both of them.
But, "Jealous??"
She was a bit bewildered.
Yixuan candidly replied, "Yes, jealous! You went to Jun City, and after you came back, everything changed. Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, their attitudes towards you changed, and you began to adapt to being cared for by them. But those! They were originally mine, I had always been taking care of you, and without realizing it, you had become very important in my heart."
"Important, very important, enough to surpass everything."
"So I was jealous, I was anxious, I was lost, but at the time, I didn't understand what these feelings meant. I was extreme, radical, I lost control, and I did things that I deeply regret."
