Hearing Miss Du's words, the eager and pounding heart of the second son of the Jie Family finally began to calm down.
Despite knowing the result, hearing it from her still plunged him into an ice cavern.
He tugged at the stiff corners of his mouth, smiling as he said, "It's okay, I've said, I can wait. Wait until you're not angry anymore, then tell me."
Miss Du was startled for a moment, then sighed and said, "It seems you still don't understand."
"I... I understand, but..."
"No, there's no 'but' between us anymore," Miss Du said with a slight bow, performing a courtesy, "I thank you for your cruelty back then, which has made me who I am today."
She spoke evenly, without sorrow or joy, yet it stirred up a storm within the second son of the Jie Family.
A mix of shock and joy!
He thought she had always been indifferent to everything, but it turned out she only seemed to not care or hate. That statement, however, betrayed her.
She, too, held grudges.
