Lin Ruoxi gently lifted her head, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterflies dancing in a field of spring flowers.
Gu Muxue did her best to keep smiling. Lin Ruoxi's apology brought her a mix of joy and pain.
She was pleased that Lin Ruoxi was a sensible girl, one who had frankly admitted her mistake to her face.
'She knew Xue Rui had a girlfriend, yet she'd still agreed to his unreasonable request without a single thought for my feelings.'
She didn't actually blame Lin Ruoxi. The real fault lay with Xue Rui, and she was well aware of that. Since Lin Ruoxi was willing to apologize, she had no intention of dwelling on it.
What pained her, however, was that Lin Ruoxi said nothing more after her apology. 'Was she tacitly accepting this relationship?'
"Why?" Gu Muxue asked.
Lin Ruoxi's gaze subconsciously darted away. A soft, timid voice escaped her red lips. "I… I want to make Rui happy. As long as he's happy, I… I'll do anything."
