He stared at her, wishing he could bore a hole through her with his gaze.
His expression remained unchanged, except for a faint, mocking smile that appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Luo Xi looked away.
She couldn't bear to see the hurt in his eyes.
For some reason, at that moment, she really wanted to explain.
And that's exactly what she did.
"Fengchi, I didn't use you."
"I just needed Gu Shaocheng's help, that's all."
She had tried hard to exclude him from her plans, always resisting his temptations, rejecting his advances, refusing to accept his love... always resisting...
Couldn't he see that?
She hadn't used him.
She didn't want to use him.
Even if she had thought about it at first!
"If I really wanted to use you, you would have been in my pocket long ago; but I didn't..." She could look him straight in the eye and say this with conviction.
"Really? You didn't?" he slowly repeated her words.
Luo Xi shook her head, "No!"
