"But..." Gu Xixi found it hard to speak, "Someone recognized me and thought I was an imposter. I was injured too, which caused the delay. Before the New Year, I came to look for you at your home, where I also met Miss Qiao. I am left with nothing but a broken body, with nothing to offer you. Miss Qiao is healthy and deeply in love with you. I didn't want to disturb your peaceful life, but... I missed you too much, Ah Liang. It's been over three years, and I've been searching for the past, searching for you. You were right in front of me, yet I couldn't control myself."
As Gu Xixi spoke, tears fell, and sorrow spread through her heart.
"No matter what, being alive is the best thing," Mu Liang looked at her. Though there wasn't much change in Gu Xixi's features, there was a new touch of world-weariness that made her already pitiable charm even more evident
One that could provoke a man's protective instinct.
Gu Xixi knew her strengths, and she knew where Mu Liang's weaknesses lay.
