ing to her to try to win a verbal argument; it would only make her situation more difficult. She was too impulsive just now."Besides her, what else do you have to apologize for" Her intentional humili...>

She couldn't tell who was more at fault between her and He Hanchuan, but there was one thing she knew for sure——

Jiang Qingran played her, and she foolishly didn't realize until now what really happened back then!

W向晚 didn't know why Jiang Qingran had approached her at first, nor did she know if the latter was sincere when they first became friends. But since five years ago, Jiang Qingran had been plotting against her, this was an undeniable fact!

How could she be so stupid!

Beep —

Woo—

The phone rang incessantly.

Xiang Wan remained motionless, still crouching on the ground, her eyes bloodshot.

The cell phone vibrated for a while and then stopped, then after a while, it started vibrating again. This repeated several times, the door creaked open, and He Hanchuan walked in.

He lowered his head to look at Huā Wǎn on the ground. Just as she looked up, their eyes met. His heart ached suddenly, as if pierced by thousands of needles.

Ge Hanchuan regretted a little.

When he gave the recorded video to the media, he had already thought about it, wanting to let Hoshino know that after this incident, her hatred for him could be reduced by a few points.

But seeing her like this, he regretted it... He should have told her bit by bit, given her time to mentally prepare.

"Why didn't you tell me" Xiang Wan's voice was hoarse, every word spoken with agonizing difficulty, "Why didn't you tell me before you did all this"

He He walked up to her and reached out his hand.

"Huan Chuan, you broke my leg and sent me to prison... Why didn't you tell me Jiang Qingran was blackmailing you" 晚 crouched on the ground, stubbornly looking up at him.

"So what" He lowered his body, placing both hands under her armpits and forcing her up.

向晚 had been squatting on the ground for a while, and being pulled up so suddenly, she felt stars in her eyes and her legs went soft. She staggered.

Yeah, tell her, and then what

She can't do anything!

He had been watching her with unwavering eyes. Seeing that she was unsteady on her feet, he hurriedly reached out and held her against his chest.

Their skin touched, softness and hardness interlocked perfectly. This should have been an ambiguous scene, but there was a hint of tension in the air.

>

"No." He Hanchuan said, "Breaking your leg and sending you to jail would all be harm to you. I wouldn't suffer any loss. I can't even protect the woman I like. That's my incompetence."

Towards Evening tightly clenched her fists, her eyelashes trembled a few times, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

Uncomfortable.

It's really hard.

He did a lot for her, that's true. But he also sent her to the Dream Palace and humiliated her because of a misunderstanding, that's also true.

She could no longer tell who owed whom in their relationship, nor could she distinguish whether she hated him more or loved him more...

Though it's undeniable that the past between them had left her heart riddled with countless nails, now that every nail has been pulled out, leaving behind a thousand holes that can never be mended.

It's over... She truly loves him!

Whether it was He Hanchuan or Jiang Qingran, she and they weren't people from the same world at all. When they treated her as a lover or friend, they could elevate her to the heavens, but when they decided to abandon her, in their hearts, she was just a stone in a latrine, despicable and lowly!

She had no ability to resist before them, all she could do was... bow her head.

Yes, when she saw today's news, her first reaction was guilt towards He Hanchuan, followed immediately by endless fear of being controlled!

"Don't cry." He Hanchuan walked to her, reaching out to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes. The tender flesh at the tip of his heart felt as if it were being cut and burned by fire, "It's all my fault."

向晚 patted open his hand, looking at him with exhaustion, "Go out first, I want to be alone for a while."

She now didn't know how to face him.

"... Good." He Hanchuan pursed his lips, then cupped her face and gently kissed her forehead. "Don't think too much, I'll take care of everything."

He glanced down at her one last time before opening the door and leaving.

The temperature on her forehead lingered, 向晚 reached out and wiped at it a few times, then seemed to deflate, letting her hand drop with vacant eyes and settling onto the bed.

Her heart was in turmoil, like a million threads tangled together, forming a messy knot.

She is a person, a living, breathing soul!

With Jiang Qingran's scheming and He Hanchuan's possessiveness still lingering, her life was already mapped out by them and Old Master He.

She became a puppet, only able to follow the script they gave her, step by step, willingly or forced. There was no freedom at all!tunned, but he leaned over and fastened her seatbelt before starting the car."Thank you," said Xiang Wan.Lu Yancen said it was no trouble, and as he turned the steering wheel, he added, "I'm such a go...
