But now, with Xie Ruotong having cleared her name and acquired a higher status, and Xie Ruilin having tarnished her reputation and lost her dignity, he also worried that Xie Ruotong, relying on her greater authority, would target Xie Ruilin. That's why he said what seemed like kind words, yet they carried an underlying threat.
He didn't want to see it happen.
He didn't want to see the things he dreaded come to be, so he spoke upfront.

For some reason, he felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest at this moment.
He didn't know what Xie Ruotong was thinking.
He didn't know if she could accept it.
Song Yanqing took a deep breath; he also didn't want to think further on it.
Caught between two women, it was impossible for him to be truly impartial.
Especially since he held no affection for Xie Ruotong.
To have done this much for her was probably already beyond the call of duty.
