Watching Xie Shichen walk away furiously, Hei Chai felt very sad.
She could clearly feel that he liked her, so why did he reject her so vehemently?
She was fond of him, but she always knew that she was far from perfect. With her humble origins and a past marriage, she wasn't worthy of a man like Xie Shichen.
Thus, she never thought about having a future with him. She only wanted to be with him simply, not asking for love, not asking about the future, and certainly not like other women who, once they had slept with a man, would cling and beg him to take responsibility.
A woman living with a man, asking for no money, no status, nor would she ruin his future family—by all accounts, the man gains more, but what was Xie Shichen so angry about?
Hei Chai didn't understand.
In this lifetime, she would never talk about love again. She had been wounded too deeply by love, and she dared not touch it anymore.
