Even now, he didn't dare to look directly into Gao Xiaoqian's eyes.
But Yuan Zhang certainly hadn't expected that everything he had done to Gao Xiaoqian was already known to everyone present.
"I apologize to you for the Soul-bewitching Grass..."
"Don't! Please don't!"
Su Wen interrupted Yuan Zhang before he could finish speaking.
"Elder Mr. Yuan, don't you think the person you should be apologizing to isn't me?"
"Who is hurt by this matter if not me? Do I even need to say it?"
At that moment, Su Wen's gaze and tone were so firm and resolute, a quality of courage that Gao Xiaoqian felt Yuan Li could never learn in his lifetime.
She had never imagined, nor dared to hope for, an apology from Yuan Zhang.
Such things could only happen in dreams.
And yet, at that very moment, Su Wen was arguing fervently on her behalf.
How Gao Xiaoqian wished she had married Su Wen, even if life had been harder. All she desired was for her partner to stand by her side.
