Chapter 353 Sorting Out One's Emotions (8)

She wanted peace, so she went back to her childhood home. That place was indeed quiet, a sanctuary for her to contemplate their relationship.

Huo Jingtang read and reread her brief message, unable to guess what was on her mind. Was it evasion, resignation, or forgiveness?

Qin Yucen felt her heart was in chaos, and with Huo Jingtang around, she simply couldn't calm down. He was always willing to humble himself for her, but indulgence isn't love. Even if she didn't mind Lele, there was still an unresolved knot in her heart, preventing her from letting go entirely. For instance, last night, she accepted his kiss, yet she sensibly guarded her heart, a stark contrast to her past self who would have surrendered at his slightest provocation. But yesterday, she resisted his advances despite seeing him struggle.

She knew there was a problem between them. Forcing things to continue as they were was irresponsible to both. Therefore, she needed time to sort everything out.
