Watching this scene unfold, Cao Mengqi felt her heart fill with resentment. Years of suppressed discontent surged within her. Why, after all these years, did she always have to yield to Liu Yuhan? The most beautiful clothes, the prettiest jewelry, anything Yuhan liked, she was expected to give up without a word.
Now, even the man she liked, was she supposed to give him up to Yuhan as well? The more Mengqi thought about it, the more unwilling her heart grew. And just when Yuhan's confession to Tian Jinlei was rejected, Mengqi felt a small sense of comfort. This rejection deepened Mengqi's affections for Tian Jinlei.
Afterward, instead of falling out with Yuhan, Mengqi buried her love for Tian Jinlei deep within her heart. But she didn't give up on him; rather, she was waiting for the perfect opportunity. She'd still offer suggestions to Yuhan on how to pursue Tian Jinlei. However, the advice Mengqi gave only made Tian Jinlei dislike Yuhan even more.
