Yesterday she had a brush with death; her emotions were chaotic, and she was vulnerable.
In the dead of night, when she saw the man descend like a deity from the heavens, appearing before her, it broke her defenses instantly. At that moment, all she wanted was to cling tightly to him, her lifeline.
She admitted that last night, she had been somewhat proactive, even passionate to the point of recklessness.
Looking back now, she felt ashamed of herself, comparing herself to those shameless women who had lost their way.
Seeing that she couldn't respond, or perhaps felt too embarrassed to, Wen Zhan chuckled and lifted her chin, helping her articulate, "Maybe it's the loneliness inside yearning for an embrace, or the emptiness within needing to be filled. Or perhaps… you simply missed me—"
His eyes locked onto hers, hitting straight to the core: "Mu Wanqing, is it really that hard to face your heart?"
"..." She said nothing, but her expression betrayed even more panic and guilt.
