When Ji Yi heard He Jichen's warm words, a bitter feeling surfaced in her eyes because of the comments she just saw in the study.
She didn't dare to look at him, so she let out a soft "Mhm" then reached out and took the mug. She held it in her palms and took a sip.
As she drank, her entire heart suddenly felt an extreme pain.
Being together was meant to be an incredibly happy thing, but because of Qian Ge, there was a strong sense of irrevokable regret mixed into that happiness.
And this regret was destined to never be erased as long as He Jichen loved her.
Because deep down, he still thought he was dragging her down.
No matter how awful Ji Yi felt inside, she didn't show the slightest hint of it in front of He Jichen.
After she finished drinking the brown sugar ginger tea, she pretended as though she was very sleepy and pulled He Jichen back to make up for lost sleep.
