Staring at Xie Rou's state and Zhou Lan's figure, a wave of helplessness washed over Yi Chen.
He clenched his jaws in frustration, unable to help Zhou Lan in any manner.
'She has gone through so much...it's too unfair.'
He looked back at the time when he had first met her. A defiant and anxious woman fighting for her love. That's the image she had left in his mind.
For her love, she fought against her parents, renounced her clan title and even forced herself into such dangerous situations despite having just recovered from a severe injury.
He didn't want her to meet such an end.
Zhou Mei's face also flashed in his eyes the next second, and his expression couldn't help but grow even more bitter.
'Just how will she react when…'
Meanwhile, Gao Zhen, who had been lost in her own thoughts all this while, suddenly turned towards Yi Chen.
The traces of hesitation in her gaze began to dissipate as a subtle smile formed on her lips.
