“I disdain the sister of Yin Can, the adopted daughter of Yu Taifei, the daughter of Ran Chengxiang. I only want my freedom. I only want someone honest to take me away from here. You all say you’ll protect me, but aren’t you all just using me? Shui Zixi, I once trusted you so much, but you suddenly disappeared from my world, causing the only world I believed in to collapse completely. Yin Can? I just happened to save him once, and he controlled me like a puppet. Wu Han personally sent me into this hell. Wei Luo? I thought he could take me away, I thought he was the only one who wouldn’t hurt me, but he stabbed me deeply when I was full of hope. I don’t care about any of this, I want nothing, I just want to return to Xiao Xin’s side, live a peaceful life, and arrange my busy diplomatic schedule every day. I don’t care about what you care about, I don’t want your sudden pity.” I said to them, trying to suppress my excitement and keep my voice steady. But when I finished speaking, I wiped my hand.
Tears had already wet my face.
I turned my back to them, not wanting them to see my hatred and resentment. Even though all my resentment was directed at them.
They looked at me silently, not speaking for a long time.
In an instant, there was no sound in the air, only the sound of our heartbeats.
“Done talking? Finished venting?” Cang Lian’s voice seemed to drift from a distant place into my ear.
I had already returned to my initial calmness, having adjusted from my previous outburst.
“What exactly do you want to do to let me go!” My voice had recovered, my tone now calm.
“Accompany me for half a year, and I’ll let you leave! And I can guarantee that no one will harass you again!” He said in a low voice, his tone seemingly mixed with other emotions.
I listened to his words, standing there for a long time without immediately answering. I looked up at Shui Zixi. In that moment, I clearly saw his body tremble heavily, but he immediately returned to his usual calm.
