He held her in his arms, sighed, and laughed, "Xinlan, you're right, I indeed am a heartless person."
"..." Why bring that up all of a sudden?
"I've always done as I pleased, never caring about others' feelings, doing whatever I wanted, hurting whomever I fancied. Only now do I realize how atrocious my past actions were. I shouldn't have got engaged to Du Ruoxin without loving her, let alone giving her too many illusions. I've hurt countless women, but I've come to understand I shouldn't have hurt her. In truth, she's a good girl, always gentle and obedient—I really shouldn't have injured her."
Lin Xinlan's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked hesitantly, "Then what do you want to do?"
"What else can I do but apologize to her? Hurting her was inevitable, and there's nothing I can do about it."
He was just feeling a bit guilty, but this was by no means going to change his attitude towards Du Ruoxin.
He was just regretting his impetuous actions from the past.
