The man lay in bed, his breath weak, his thoughts unknown, until the door opened and a woman in a wedding dress stood outside. Lu Zhonian's eyes, always ashen, finally rippled with emotion...
He stared intently at Song Nian, his parched lips trembling slightly. After a long while, he croaked, "Why did you come back?"
Song Nian paused briefly at the doorway before walking toward him.
She moved slowly, each step light and hesitant, as if she was making a decision.
Lu Zhonian didn't know what to think. He guessed perhaps Song Nian was here to tell him she was leaving with Jiang Ci.
Lu Zhonian couldn't accept this outcome, but at this moment, he didn't know with what threats to make Song Nian stay.
So the words that came out were cold as ice, "What? Seeing Jiang Ci still alive makes you happy, doesn't it? Song Nian, do you think you can finally get rid of me? The days spent with me must have been so difficult for you."
