Today, after all the chaos, I truly don't have the heart to stay here any longer.
As I walked out of the garden where the banquet was held, someone pulled my arm and embraced me.
It was Pei Shuo.
I was so busy arguing with Song Lin'an, I forgot about him.
After holding me for a while, he finally let go of my waist.
His face was somber, his good-looking eyebrows furrowed, avoiding my gaze.
He gently touched the part of my face that had been hit, his voice was lowered with effort, but his eyes clearly showed tenderness.
"You won't let me help with this, nor permit me to interfere with that. Back then, we agreed to face everything together as a couple, but with how you acted today, I won't bother with you anymore."
"I'm sorry," I confessed earnestly, "Don't be mad."
"It doesn't hurt anymore, really."
He turned his head, still refusing to look at me.
