"No need?" Tong Sanlang was stunned. Even cutting ties with the Zhang Family couldn't win back Qiao Xiaomai?
Couldn't regain Qiao Xiaomai's forgiveness even after disowning his family?
His heart felt as if it were being violently gripped, pain turning his face instantly pale. Why...
Why was it a death sentence right from the start?
At least grant a stay of execution, at least give him a chance to rejuvenate himself...
The whole world darkened in an instant, leaving only Qiao Xiaomai before his eyes, his only burst of color, his only liveliness...
"Xiaomai..." he called out, trembling.
"No need," Qiao Xiaomai said, her gaze on the grass beneath her feet, her expression indifferent. "The Zhang Family didn't do anything too out of line to you, drugging and kneeling are minor issues not worth disowning your family for, it's bad for your reputation."
