"No, it's not like that..."
Gu Tong wanted to explain, but she couldn't utter a single word of explanation; it was as if her voice had been swallowed.
Her throat felt like it had its vocal cords removed, unable to make a sound...
She said no, and wasn't that exactly what she thought deep down.
Always claiming to do it for Li Yan, constantly fearing the tragedy of her past life would replay...
Yet, she hadn't communicated even a little with Li Yan...
Even if she mentioned it, it was merely to inform, to perfunctorily respond, or even to coerce...
Li Yan was her husband, yet, for the sake of "protection," she kept hurting him, tormenting his nerves.
If their roles were reversed, and Gu Tong was the one Li Yan abandoned, how would she feel...
Anger, sadness, questioning, doubt, or feeling that she was not trusted.
The protection she most wanted in her heart ended up injuring their relationship, leaving a heavily scarred wound in Li Yan's heart!
What right did she have...
