Her voice gradually softened, and as she looked away from Huo Shenting's pitiful eyes, she slightly lowered her head and the hand resting on the bedsheet slowly clenched.
Huo Shenting observed her lonely demeanor, his deep eyes stirring slightly before he finally spoke in a low voice.
"Even if Jingyan and I were to marry, you would still be you. There's no need to feel lost and upset. Eventually, you will meet someone who wants to look after you."
Shen Shiqing gently bit her lip. She had already met the person who wanted to care for her, but he was about to get married too.
Actually, she knew her feelings for Lu Jingyan were not love, but just the thought of Lu Jingyan getting married made her uneasy. Xin Gan's nature was much more straightforward than Ye Shu's; if she needed Lu Jingyan in the future, she might just be denied access altogether.
