Lu Yi thought for a few seconds, considering whether saying so would stress her out, but eventually, he nodded. "Yes."

Shen Heyu hung her head in silence for a long while, then said, "I'm sorry."

Even if he acquired the Lu Family's company, it would only benefit him slightly.

It was all because of her.

Thinking so, he did just that. His fingers touched her head, her soft hair sliding through his palm.

He said, "Don't apologize; this isn't related to you. You must have tried your best. Let's just say we can't control his actions."
