Even a clever woman like Shen Ruozhuo finds herself bewildered when encountering emotional issues, akin to seeing flowers through fog.
She's perhaps immune to a man's sweet talk, but when she sees the vulnerable side of the man she knows to be brittle inside despite his fierce exterior, Shen Ruozhuo struggles to resist, her hardened heart begins to soften for this man.
Her rigid back slowly relaxes, she lowers her head, looking at the man who has closed his eyes, seemingly finding some comfort only with her.
Unable to resist, Shen Ruozhuo raises her hand, pats Xi Siwei's shoulder, and asks, "What's really going on with you?"
From what Shen Ruozhu understands, Xi Siwei should not be so low-spirited.
"The incident where Qin Mobai was shot last time was orchestrated by my parents."
Shen Ruozhuo gasped, it was actually planned by Xi Siwei's parents!
"Then what?"
"Then Qin Mobai found out, now my parents are locked up in the villa at Qin Mansion, unable to step outside all day."
