His serene eyes were filled with coldness: "Xichen, even if you don't have the ability to make your family accept Ruran, you shouldn't let your family hurt her!"
Xichen took the blame inexplicably, feeling extremely anxious, "Ruran, if my mom did something bad to you or said something hurtful, don't hold it against her. I apologize on her behalf!"
Cheng Youran smiled bitterly, looking up at the tall Xichen, "Actually... your mom wasn't wrong. Xichen, I really have nothing that matches up to you..."
"I forbid you from saying such things!" Xichen said sternly, "You are Cheng Youran! You are the Cheng Youran I like, isn't that enough?!"
His tone was so firm, leaving no room for argument.
Yet Cheng Youran only felt so tired... She did not respond but remained silent.
Her attitude left Xichen bewildered.
"Ruran, are you... thinking of giving up?"
Giving up the affection between them.
Cheng Youran was honest, her voice filled with fatigue, "Xichen, I'm just... too tired..."
