She finally understood what "one misstep leads to another" meant, and Yang Tieqi's prison break only pushed her deeper into the mire. Now, she could only regret involving him to testify for her father, regret entangling herself with him...
What vexed her more was that after the mute disappeared, Chenxuan had completely changed. Knowing she had the keys to the apartment, he simply stopped returning there, choosing instead to stay at the Leng Residence. He avoided her entirely, even speaking to her had become taboo.
In just a few days, this man had become a complete stranger to her. She still remembered the sweetness of their time together at the Riverside Mansion; now, he treated her as if she were a passerby. Such a transformation made her teeth itch with hatred, yet she was powerless to do anything.
Therefore, she could only conclude that the mute had bewitched Chenxuan with some love potion, clouding his mind, making him unable to find his way home.
