Pei Yan wanted to explain to Mei Wanying that he didn't mean to pressure her.
He had risked his life just to see her again. How could he possibly want her dead?
Pei Yan had so much he wanted to say, but he didn't know where to begin.
It was his coldness that had pushed Ah Yin to the brink. He wasn't blameless.
Every time he recalled their past life, Pei Yan was so overwhelmed by guilt that he didn't even have the courage to look Mei Wanying in the eye.
Before Mei Wanying could drive him out again, he left the Mei Family's old house.
On New Year's Eve, he had ultimately failed to spend it with the one he cared for.
For many years, Pei Yan had spent New Year's Eve alone while fighting on the battlefield, but this year felt particularly unbearable.
His Ah Yin was so close, yet he couldn't approach her.
'It was truly cruel.'
