Shen Yang, who had always been kind to her, was angry for the first time.
"Afraid we'd worry! XiaoRuo, do you think that having Gu Kai means your dad, mom, and I have become unimportant to you? Such a big matter, and not only do you not tell us, but you also let Gu Kai take care of you every day. Do you really think Gu Kai is more reliable than us in your heart?"
"It's not like that; I really was afraid you'd worry..."
"If it weren't for you needing something from me now, would you have planned to never tell us, to keep it from us forever?"
"..." Xiaoruo bowed her head in guilt; indeed, that had been her plan.
Shen Yang's face darkened, and he turned to leave.
"Xiaoyang!" Shen Ruo hurriedly caught up to him, reaching out to pull him back, but he shook her off forcefully.
