Jiang Shouzhong watched with heartache, lifted his hand, and gently wiped away the girl's tears, softly saying, "Ms Qiu definitely wouldn't want to see you this sad."
The girl lowered her head, her voice almost inaudible:
"At the time she said, if I stay by your side, I'll only bring you harm. I didn't believe it, but now... I have no choice but to believe."
Jiang Shouzhong paused in shock, puzzled, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Qu Hongling suddenly raised her small face, her expression gloomy yet still not overshadowing her charming beauty, though at this moment, the full heart of pain added a more pitiful touch to this beauty.
"Jiang..."
The girl bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, then softly asked, "If everyone in this world would die because of me, would you choose to kill me?"
Jiang Shouzhong didn't expect her to ask such a question and instinctively shook his head: "Of course not."
"Even if... Ran and the others would die because of me, you still wouldn't kill me?"
