Xiyan sniffled, feeling utterly wronged.
It's all because I was trying to save you!
Do you think I wanted to end up like this?
But Luo Mingchuan insisted on threatening her with matters regarding the contract.

Hmph, mood utterly ruined!

"Does it still hurt anywhere?"
"What's the point if it does? Nobody cares about me anyway. Might as well hurt to death." Her voice had a hint of spite.
Ou Jue felt like the softest part of his heart had been gently struck by something.
He sighed silently and carefully lifted her hand, checking if there were any other scrapes on her body.
