"Who said they like you?"
"Dare to say you don't?"
He seized her waist, and before her tears could breach the dam, Lord Quan the Fourth flipped over, pining her soft body underneath him, his dark and piercing eyes shimmering like the splendor of the sun and moon, penetrating with such force as if he wished to pierce through her eyes and delve deep into her soul.
"Zhan Xiaoyao, it was also his intention not to let you know."
Zhan Se looked at him, sniffling non-stop.
"There are things you should be aware of. He likes you, but it's impossible for the two of you to be together. Why do you think he allowed Zhang Zhongkai to plant explosives on the mountaintop? He wanted to test me, to see if I would abandon everything to die for you."
Startled for a moment, Zhan Se halted her tears.
"If you couldn't do it, the situation that night would have been completely different, right?"
