Li Yeqi reached out to turn off the stove; he turned her body around and gazed at her intently, "Xixi, I feel so guilty. If I hadn't fallen for the trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain back then and left the Imperial Capital, you and mom wouldn't have..."
"It's not your fault. No one can foresee the unknown, and besides, I never blamed you in these five years. Li Yeqi, don't blame yourself. You've done nothing wrong to me."
Although most of the harm she suffered came from him, when she decided to be with him back then, she should have anticipated these, she just hadn't expected human nature to be so ugly.
Li Yeqi held her tightly in his arms, his voice low and desolate, "Even so, you still didn't plan to truly accept me, not even because of Xiaoling, right?"
