When love has become a thing of the past, how does one bear such deep affection and friendship?
Chu Xinian felt an overwhelming sadness, silently gazing at her precious, yet sorrowful smile, and shook his head once more, "No..."
It was true he loved Qin Yiren, but he had no reason to let Ji Manman sacrifice herself for his love.
Especially such an unbearable sacrifice...
"You, don't rush to reject me yet, let me finish."
Ji Manman's eyes glistened with tiny tears, yet her voice remained calm, "Although I truly want to agree to you, making you owe me a lifetime, I am not magnanimous enough to sacrifice myself for the woman you love."
As she spoke, her slender nails uneasily wandered across the tabletop, struggling to hide the desolation in her heart.
The tense strings in Chu Xinian's heart suddenly relaxed.
No matter who owed whom more between him and her, this answer reflected the Ji Manman he knew.
