Lu Hechen was truly surprised this time, pausing briefly as he gazed into Weilan's eyes, as if he could see the emotions that lay deep within them, through her bright eyes.
Weilan met his gaze without avoiding it.
For a moment, Weilan felt that there was no need for words, no need for explanations, as they could understand each other's thoughts just like that.
The Lu Family had disappointed Lu Hechen, and his heart had long since gone cold.
And hadn't the Shen Family let her down completely as well?
Weilan reflected on her life over the years, being deliberately abandoned by her mother in her childhood.
Upon becoming an adult and returning, she was nothing more than a tool for them to solidify their economic status, never the warmth of family bonds.
Demolition was the thought of utter disappointment in her heart, so real.
Lu Hechen had told her this so openly that Shen Weilan instantly understood his feelings.
