Meihui got startled at his question, but then she realized what she had been doing and felt shame rising within her. Did she really pity the same people who had made Ye Jun's life hell?
She couldn't even look into Ye Jun's eyes, nor could she bring herself to lie. "I-I..."
"No need to panic," Ye Jun smiled at her. "I don't blame you. I actually expected it from you."
Meihui felt even more panicked hearing that. She didn't even know why, but the thought of Ye Jun being disappointed in her scared her. It hurt her deeply.
'Why am I so stupid?' she cursed herself. 'Why would you feel pity for such monsters?'
"Stop your thought process! We'll talk later," Ye Jun lightly knocked on her head and turned toward Song Liangxue. "Thanks for protecting me."
"Didn't you just say you're marrying into my house?" Song Liangxue spoke in a teasing tone. "As such, it's my responsibility to protect you. I'll always protect you."
