"Jingyao..." Su Zixi began, her voice quivering.
"Hmm?" the man responded quietly.
"I..." Su Zixi took a deep breath, suddenly feeling that things couldn't go on like this.
She had been avoiding the issue for too long and could no longer pretend everything was fine just because of his pampering and indulgence.
"I have something to tell you." She turned to look at him, a tear already gleaming in her eye.
He Jingyao's gaze darkened slightly, and he suddenly placed a finger on her lips. "I don't want to hear it."
Su Zixi's eyes widened slightly. "But..."
"I know what you want to say." He laughed hoarsely, "but it doesn't matter."
These past few days, the struggle and sorrow hidden beneath her feigned smiles, he had seen it all clearly.
The tear stains not yet dried on her cheeks each morning, he had not missed once.
He Jingyao had thought she would keep this matter to herself until she fully accepted the fact, but after all, she was still Su Zixi.
