Hearing the door close, Bo Yeyuan's clenched hand relaxed, the knife and fork clattering crisply on the plate.
He hadn't seen her for days, and he missed her!
Fearing that his ruse would fail, afraid she didn't care at all about Sheng Shinian's welfare, terrified she wouldn't come back.
Yet, when she actually did return, having fallen into his trap, his ecstatic joy was paired with the deep pain of betrayal!
She must have cared deeply for Sheng Shinian; otherwise, why would she rush back upon hearing the news and immediately visit the prison?
She made every effort to escape from his grasp, yet for Sheng Shinian's sake, she returned to his side.
In his entire life, Bo Yeyuan had never feared anything, but Li Qiyu was the one "monster" he truly feared!
Fearing that she'd fall ill, that she'd leave, that she'd be bullied, that she'd encounter an accident, fearing her...
His greatest fear was that even if he protected her his entire life, she would never love him!
