"Mom, I didn't, I really didn't," Luo Qi assured her loudly.
Luo Qi's mother remained silent, only staring into space behind Luo Qi.
Following her gaze, Luo Qi saw Ah Chuan.
As it turned out, her mother had already noticed Ah Chuan following in behind her.
"Mom, I never did what you asked me not to do, can you believe me?" Luo Qi pleaded tearfully.
"I believe you, my dear, I always have. But if things become too difficult, you don't have to insist," Luo Qi's mother's words were faint, her breathing was ragged and unstable.
"Mom, I understand, I understand..."
"Xiao Qi, promise your mom, for your own good, give him up, okay? You're too innocent and Qingli is too cunning, you can't stand a chance against her. I don't want you to waste your youth," her mother implored.
"I promise you, Mom, I promise you," Luo Qi clung onto her mother's hand and cried heartbreakingly.
Her mother's eyes started to lose focus. She wanted to say something, her mouth opened, but nothing came out.
