Yang Xuan's Explanation

Song Jiaren was moved by Yang Xuan's words.

Although it was Yang Xuan who suggested that they met up here in the first place, no one could have expected such an incident to befall her. It wasn't Yang Xuan's fault that those people had turned up. After all, they had sounded like they were here because of her father.

Even if Yang Xuan wasn't around, they would still have found a chance to harm her.

On the contrary, it was precisely because of Yang Xuan that those people left.

Having thought that, the look in Song Jiaren's eyes turned tender as she looked at Yang Xuan.

As he noticed the change in Song Jiaren, Yang Xuan got excited. The plan was working!

"Are you alright?" he asked affectionately, "They didn't hurt you, did they?"

"No," Song Jiaren shook her head, helping him off of the ground.
