Broken Hearts

"Little Star... what are you trying to do?" Dao Ming's voice was too low that if not for Xiang Ling's sharp hearing, she wouldn't have been able to hear him. The shock, confusion, and eventually hurt - was evident in his tone but it did nothing to change her decision.

"I'm informing you that from this moment onward, both you and Xin Cheng are forbidden from entering this room without my permission. I'm also informing you that from now on, you both don't have to pretend to be the perfect husbands. For the sake of all the help you both have provided me in the past, I will let you two stay here. But once you are finished with your work in the Mortal Realm, please leave Chen Manor immeditely."

She felt her voice getting heavy as despite her determination, her heart wasn't able to forgo the feelings she seemed to have developed for these two men. She kept her gaze fixed on the wall in front of her, trying to hold back the tears that had filled the back of her eyes.
