Opening her eyes, she lay on the cold ground, curled up, her clothes and hair in disarray. She saw a pair of black boots, looking up.
Mo Yi was impeccably dressed, completely different from the miserable person on the ground, like they belonged to different worlds.
She seemed to have walked the edge of life and death, then reached out to him. He bent down, about to grasp her hand, but in the next moment, froze entirely—
Her voice weak, but tone resolute, “What’s wrong… afraid I’ll commit suicide… unable to give Ming Sheng Nation an explanation?”
Mo Yi choked, eyes downcast. At this moment, anything said would be useless.
The corner of her world that contained him had already collapsed.
Collapsed.
Today, I had a moment of moral luck.
There are people in this world who are so extreme. They could have avoided a situation, yet stubbornly and spitefully choose otherwise. Only those who care about her and love her would feel heartache for her, right?
Mo Yi, whether he cares about her or loves her, she is no longer certain. She only knows that when she was about to pass out from pain, Mo Yi never came to rescue her.
In the end, Fei Zuo only said they would continue the trial in a few days. Only then was she released.
A faint fragrance permeated the cell, making one drowsy. Mei Kai Ye was already not very clear-headed, and after smelling the incense, she soon entered dreamland.
After confirming Mei Kai Ye was asleep, a person in a dark purple robe quietly had someone open the cell and walked in.
The person on the bed had furrowed brows, seemingly troubled.
He raised his finger and gently traced her cheek, where tear marks still remained. His gaze lowered; her hand had been bandaged, but it seemed disabled, no longer able to move freely.
He had not left, staying just outside the cell. Hearing Mei Kai Ye’s cries, his heart ached. He had thought about rushing in but… Ming Sheng Kingdom…
Mo Yi carefully took her hand and gently kissed it.
Why wouldn’t she defend herself? If she said one word, he could find a way to help her cover it up. Little did he know, for Mei Kai Ye, what she hated was his lack of unconditional trust.
