Mu Mian couldn't fathom what was going through Gong Heng's mind; she didn't understand the meaning behind his every word and sentence. She didn't believe what he said, yet she had no other choice.
This was Gong Heng.
He always gave her choices, yet he didn't.
Every seemingly gentle treatment always turned into a vicious crushing in the end.
Most of the time, she felt too weak and needed to struggle or to stand on an equal footing with him, discussing a matter calmly and rationally.
But the reality was, that was impossible.
Gong Heng would never give her an equal position.
The place where he stood was always one from which he could control her.
All this time, whenever she tried to resist and fight for her own interests, it was always herself and those around her who ended up hurt in the end.
She didn't trust him.
Never had.
She had trusted him before, not anymore today, and she would not in the future.
But she had no other option.
