The more resolute Xue Xingyao was, the more miserable Chen Shujing felt.
He had thought his heart had only ever belonged to Shen Mingxiao. The reason he'd noticed Xue Xingyao, he told himself, was because her eyes resembled Xiaoxiao's.
But now, it seemed that wasn't the case.
He had discovered long before their engagement that Xue Xingyao and Shen Mingxiao were two completely different women.
She was cheerful and open, unafraid to show her emotions. She was incapable of swallowing her grievances just to keep the peace.
Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, had endured a difficult life in the Shen family and often had to swallow her grievances.
She always wore a mask, never revealing her true feelings.
He had realized long ago that Ah Yao and Xiaoxiao were nothing alike.
Yet he had gone through with the engagement anyway.
'Was it really just her similar eyes that he valued?'
A vague answer formed in Chen Shujing's mind: no.
