"Thank you for the reminder. I will consider it." Owing too many favors to Bai Liyan and now letting him down filled her with guilt.
But Ji Yunhuan knew she couldn't help it.
She couldn't give Bai Liyan hope.
Nor did she want to see someone like Bai Liyan fall because of her.
A person like him should be like a breeze, like the bright moon. He shouldn't do something that violated his principles.
Moreover, what was so good about Ji Yunhuan?
She had committed all kinds of despicable acts and was notoriously selfish. She wasn't worthy of him, nor worthy of him betraying his own principles.
Ji Yunhuan knew that her biggest mistake was involving Bai Liyan at the most inappropriate time. She shouldn't have chosen to rely on him then. If that hadn't happened, none of this would have occurred.
The more it came to moments like this, the more she couldn't afford to show him any softness, for fear of him misunderstanding her intentions.
