"I didn't know... I never meant to hurt her."
Wen Nianchu seemed to suddenly lose all strength, leaning against the corner of the desk. His rest and sleep were poor, so there were always faint dark circles under his eyes.
He began to revisit his past memories.
He had never intended to cause Yao Qing pain either. The reason he couldn't help but lock her up was simply because she called him worthless, a useless freak.
That sentence wasn't really wrong; when his hypocrisy was exposed and laid bare, she couldn't accept it, so her words were understandable.
But at the time he lost his head. He really couldn't accept that the girl he had been fixated on for so long would say that about him.
Latterly, while Yao Qing was enduring hardships inside, he couldn't help but go and assist her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to walk out alive.
Afterward, when Yao Qing got out, he felt what he had done was still worthwhile, for she had become very obedient.
