For some reason, his heart began to ache, and he was overwhelmed with shame. He lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "I understand now, sister-in-law. It's my fault."
Luan Qingyuan looked at him incredulously, her face deathly pale as she cried out, "Ah Yan!"
Xiao Yan looked toward her, "Qingyuan, don't come to deceive me anymore. I'm very clear that the child you lost was not mine. I don't want to anger Cousin Chu anymore. I won't help you, so... don't come looking for me again. I won't see you anymore!"
After he said that, Xiao Yan turned and walked out.
"Ah Yan!" Luan Qingyuan chased after him in a panic, grabbing one of his sleeves as tears fell like rain. In despair, she cried out, "Ah Yan! Don't treat me like this... don't leave me... I love you so much, if you treat me this way, I will die... I really will die..."
Xiao Yan clenched his teeth, made a harsh decision, shook off her hand, and left without looking back.
