"I don't understand why you have to treat me like this. I've already said I want to stay by your side. Why are you still unwilling to save my mother?"
Her current demeanor could only be described as humble and compromising, yet he still chose to refuse.
"What I want is for you to willingly stay by my side, but everything you're showing now clearly comes from being forced."
Ji Yu couldn't understand what it was exactly that he wanted. Did he desire genuine feelings?
"Xia Chuanhe, I don't know why you have such thoughts, but judging by the current situation, there's no way I could ever fall for you. After what you've done to my mother, you still expect me to like you? Isn't that going too far?"
If it weren't for them, Madam Ji wouldn't have ended up like this.
In Ji Yu's eyes, he had clear culpability, so there was no way she could agree to anything emotional with him.
"Yu, what I want is your heart—you should understand that perfectly well."
