"How could I possibly just leave you like this? Yu, are you a fool? If I really wanted to leave you, I would've done it long ago. How could I still be by your side until now?"
Thinking about Ji Yu's earlier behavior, he felt she must have endured a lot of suffering.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have said something like this.
"Gu Qixiao, I truly don't know what I'm supposed to do anymore. I love you, but I can't be with you. I need to protect your life."
She rarely cried, yet at this moment, she couldn't help herself.
"I've always been here. I know you're trying to protect me—isn't that why I came to see you?" Gu Qixiao's gaze upon her was filled with pain, knowing she must have gone through a lot over this period.
The ordeals she faced had shaped her into this. He hurt deeply for her.
"Yu, I love you, so no matter what you do, I can understand."
At this point, Ji Yu faintly realized something was wrong.
