Ren Chuqing remained silent for a while before finally speaking, "Why?"
Qin Jingzhi moved his dry lips and said bitterly, "If you refuse to forgive me, at least you still have feelings for me in your heart, whether it is hatred or resentment—at least... you won't treat me like a stranger. But if you forgive me, if from then on I no longer exist in your eyes, then... I'd rather you never forgive me!"
As Qin Jingzhi spoke, his voice choked up. "I know that the situation we're in is all my own doing, and whatever you want to do to me, I'm willing to accept. I will do everything I can to make up for my mistakes!"
