For a long time, Ruan Fu did not answer him. Jiuyou could only see her lowered, trembling eyelashes, fragile and beautiful like butterfly wings fluttering in the wind. In an instant, his heart plummeted to rock bottom, shattering into countless pieces. The heavy, oppressive weight in his chest made it hard to breathe. He let out a long sigh, struggling to suppress the spreading pain. Right now, he just wanted to escape.
Just as Jiuyou turned to leave, Ruan Fu suddenly grabbed his arm. His body stiffened. He turned back to see her tilting her head up, revealing her fair, pristine face. Her gaze was clear and calm.
"So, did you come to me just for this one thing?" she asked. Her tone was so even and rational, politely reminding him of his purpose for being here.
