Li Yeqi frowned, "Why did you separate? You didn't show up at the celebration banquet that night. With my mom's fondness for you, she wouldn't have let you leave alone."
Yan Luoxi averted her gaze, looking at the turbulent river, her eyes gradually moistening, her tone weary and forlorn, "Because of some people's selfishness, Mr. Li, regarding what happened that night, I can't answer you."
Li Yeqi suddenly grasped her shoulders, forcing her to face him, his eyes sharp as he stared at her, "What exactly happened? Why can't you answer me?"
Yan Luoxi's tears welled up, she choked back a sob, but didn't dare meet his intense gaze. She took a breath, calming the injustice and pain in her heart, "Because the truth would bring you unhappiness."
Five years ago, she hurriedly fled before his return, not only because her mother was a human trafficker leader who couldn't implicate him, but also because she didn't know how to face him.
