"I regret it."
Ji Huan said to Guan Shan as they walked out of the government office.
She should have been happy. After all the trouble she'd gone through to prove Ji Xiu'e's guilt, Guan Shan had been dragged into this mess. How could she possibly be happy now?
It was no wonder, really. Even she had immediately thought of Guan Shan when she heard the time of Huang Juncai's death, so of course others would too.
She believed the innocent had nothing to hide, but that didn't mean others would see it that way.
She knew Guan Shan would become a suspect, yet she had still gone to the government office to ensure Ji Xiu'e was punished...
"If it weren't for me, Ji Xiu'e never would have lashed out and accused you. If I'd known, I never would have let you come along."
Guan Shan looked down at her, his eyes devoid of any worry. "Even if I hadn't come, the government office would have sent officers to the house to summon me. This has nothing to do with you. Don't dwell on it."
