Neither praise nor sympathy

"No!", Suyin kneeled down and grabbed his leg, "Please do not say this to anybody. I beg you.", she panicked.

Jianyu looked at her incredulously.

"I did a horrible thing and I'm apologizing for it. But please. Don't tell this to anyone. I will go to jail.", she cried non-stop.

"You should have thought that way before even coming up with this plan."

"Jianyu no. Please, please. Do me this one favor. Just this one. I won't ask anything else. I won't come in between your relationship anymore. At least think about the friendship we had all these years, the relationship we had. Please give me one chance and let me go. Please keep this a secret."

He stared at her.

"Answer me one question. The media incident…That was also planned by you, right? Did you purposely leak her past? Don't you even dare lie to me."

She avoided eye contact.

"Yes or no?", he asked his eyes and voice freezing cold.

"..Y-yes.", she got terrified the way he spoke.
