A flicker of hesitation crossed Xiu Ai's face. She bit her lip and pleaded, "Ms. Qin, can you give me more time? Brother Heng and I have just met, I can't bear to part..."
Qin Sisi frowned, shaking her head silently inside. Indeed, people are never satisfied. Having obtained what they desired, they tend to seek even more.
Qin Sisi calmly looked at Xiu Ai and declined her request, "I can't grant this. This body and this love were never yours in the first place. It's already your good fortune to have a day of happiness; one should not greed for too much."
Tears welled up in Xiu Ai's eyes, and it took her a while to muster a weak response: "But I really can't bear to part with Brother Heng. Why? Why do we only have such a short fate together? How cruel the Heaven can be."
Ye You whispered something to Qin Sisi, prompting her to nod and then explain to Xiu Ai, "Whatever happens is destined. All things in destiny have reasons; your excessive attachment may make you miss out on more."
