"Why would there be women looking for you? Is this house hers? What is your relationship with her, an ex-girlfriend?"

Lin Yan's delicate lips parted and closed, a hint of jealousy in her tone.

She was sensitive and insecure, affected by her family background, which made her less confident.

She admitted that her fear of loss looked terrible, and she didn't want to keep her thoughts bottled up inside.
