After Chen Shujing left the Capital City, his mind was still a mess. He kept thinking of Xue Xingyao's tear-filled eyes.
That was the feature she shared most with Xiaoxiao.
Every time he remembered, Chen Shujing's heart ached a little more.
He couldn't quite tell if his heart ached for those eyes or for Xue Xingyao herself.
A suffocating pressure built in his chest, his emotions adrift. Chen Shujing was miserable.
At his most impulsive, he considered turning back to the Capital City. He would stop meddling in the Shen family's affairs and just stay by Xue Xingyao's side.
But Xue Xingyao wanted a divorce, and her attitude was firm. This made him shrink back.
He didn't want to see Xue Xingyao at a time like this, afraid she would keep bringing up that one word.
'I should just let her calm down for a bit.'
'Once she understands the situation, she'll know what the best choice is.'
