Yu Wanqing's body could no longer withstand such intense emotional turmoil, and Gu Mozhen held her gently in his arms, stroking her back as his eyes too were shimmering with tears.
Looking at Qin Yuji, who was also crying inconsolably across from him, Gu Mozhen began, "As for the incident back then, if there's blame to be assigned, it's on me. I ask you... not to be too hard on Wanqing. If you must blame someone, blame me alone."
Speaking gravely, Gu Mozhen sighed and said, "When I met Wanqing, my former wife had passed away two years earlier. So, back then, it was I who irresponsibly abandoned Wanqing..."
"Mozhen, don't talk like that..."
Yu Wanqing, sobbing desperately, cut off Gu Mozhen, wiping away tears while hurriedly explaining to Qin Yuji, "Nan Nan, your father isn't that kind of man. He had no choice but to act as he did back then. Don't blame him."
As soon as her words fell, she realized her impudence and a flash of embarrassment crossed Yu Wanqing's face.
