A bond of blood made it impossible for Lu Jincheng to completely ignore her.
He also found her to be rather troublesome and didn't know how to handle her.
Seeing him waver, a hint of triumph flashed in Ji Zimo's eyes, and then she showed weakness.
"Jincheng, I just want to stay by your side, even if I have no title or status, it's fine. I love you, that's why I've been willing to stay by your side all these years, willing to have your child. Please, for Qiancheng's sake, don't drive me away, don't leave me."
By the end, she was sobbing uncontrollably, her face smeared with tears and mucus.
She appeared both sincere and wretched.
Lu Jincheng's lips moved slightly, unsure of what to say.
He was worried about the person in front of him continuing to do something foolish, yet he wanted to make things clear to her; after all, if their entanglement didn't end, how could he pursue Ji Yao?
