Yun Shifei looked at him with an expression of disbelief, as if she were a child suddenly realizing fairy tales were nothing but lies—her joyful heart shattered in an instant.
Her expression seemed to say, "How can you be so cruel? Such a delicate and adorable gift, how can you just throw it away?"
Sure enough, the next moment, she spoke: "Wasn't this gift something you made with care? How can you just discard it so casually?"
Cheng Lie pressed his lips together, suddenly unsure of how to respond. He wanted to say, even if it was something he made with care, once its purpose had been fulfilled, it was useless to him.
He acknowledged it—he was indeed cold-blooded. It's just that, in front of her, he showed only his better side.
So, he said, "I didn't realize you liked it so much, but this thing melts quickly once it's disconnected from its power source."
