"Why didn't you break free?"
"You think it's too simple," Leng Ran shook her head, "I am powerless to break free, and I don't want to. Nan Fei, you don't understand, I am a member of Leng's family, and those things can be addictive."
Leng Ran suddenly stood up, looking at her with pity. "You and I are the same; we are both chess pieces. I am a chess piece in Leng Peixi's hands, and you are a chess piece in Huo Beijiang's hands. I am telling you this today because I do not want Silly to be innocently dragged into this."
Nan Fei looked at her expressionlessly.
"Can you promise me?"
"Fine!" Nan Fei didn't believe a word Leng Ran said. Even if there was truth in her words, deception wouldn't sway her determination.
"That's settled then! It's not in vain that Silly and I grew up together," said Leng Ran as she got up.
"Wait!"
"What is it?"
