After consoling Song Youman, Xia Wan'an had the waiter bring a pot of warm water. She patiently waited for Song Youman to take a few sips before she started to recount the whole story, hiding nothing.
"...I wanted to discuss everything with you prematurely, but it all happened too suddenly, Youman. I didn't dare to call you, afraid that Han Jingnian would intercept the call. Even today, I contacted you only using someone else's phone..."
"Youman, I really owe an apology to you and not only you, but also my parents and my brother... They would definitely be upset, wouldn't they? I saw my brother today and couldn't even keep eye contact with him. I was afraid that I would have burst into tears then and there... They all must harbor some resentment against me from the bottom of their hearts..."
