Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Back then, she had been young and naïve. She had followed behind Shen Luo’an like a dutiful little wife. Everyone had thought that they would be together forever. In the short course of a few years, everything had changed.

Ye Youyou worked hard to hold back her tears. She looked at Shen Luo’an in front of her and didn’t say a word.

As Shen Luo’an looked at this version of Ye Youyou before him, he felt a deep sense of shame take root in his heart.

It should never have turned out like that. He should never have been in this state in front of her.

His throat ached. Shen Luo’an was about to say something, but the ache in this throat prevented a single word from being uttered.

“Why?” Ye Youyou’s voice was gentle. It echoed back in the empty room.

Shen Luo’an looked at her and chuckled. “Why what?”

“Why are you taking the fall for me?” Ye Youyou’s beautiful and dazzling eyes turned imperceptibly red. “You clearly didn’t commit this crime.”

“Stop being silly,” he said. “If I wasn’t the one who killed her, I wouldn’t be sitting inside here. How are you still so naïve?”

Shen Luo’an’s carefree attitude made Ye Youyou’s heart burned with regret. She looked at him and swallowed before saying, “Guan Queye committed suicide. It had nothing to do with anyone else.”

“You might think that Guan Queye committed suicide, but that’s not what others believe.” Shen Luo’an gazed at her. His eyes were indescribably warm. “If Guan Yanhong doesn’t get an explanation, he will never let you off.”

“No, this matter can be investigated,” Ye Youyou said. “Why do you have to be imprisoned?”

“Be good, and don’t make a fuss.” Shen Luo’an looked a little helpless and said, “You’re expecting. Don’t cry.”

When Ye Youyou heard Shen Luo’an use that old and familiar phrase, she couldn’t restrain herself. She held her face in her hands and broke down in tears.

Li Jinnan reached out and put his arm around her, bringing her into his embrace. His sharp and dark eyes were staring straight at Shen Luo’an the whole time. There was no warmth in them whatsoever.

Shen Luo’an could sense the enmity and hostility. With a bitter smile, he watched with complex emotions as Ye Youyou cried in Li Jinnan’s arms.

This was not how it was supposed to turn out. This girl had once been his most beloved treasure. Back then, under the stars, he had laid with her on the grass field and made a promise to her. They had been in love, but in a love triangle, someone was bound to lose.

He had let Ye Youyou down. He had also let Guan Queye down. This was not how it was supposed to turn out.

Ye Youyou was unaware of Li Jinnan’s mood. Still wrapped in his arm, her heart felt fractured.

Choking back her sobs, she said, “This isn’t fair. It had nothing to do with us at all! Why do we have to bear such a responsibility? Guan Queye was insane! Even if she did anything extreme, it would still be within reason. Why do we have to take responsibility for it? Does a kind person just have to suffer and be bullied like that?”

She didn’t want Shen Luo’an to be imprisoned. Even if they had had multiple misunderstandings between them over the years, and even if they had so many unhappy memories between them, he was still Shen Luo’an.

To Ye Youyou, no matter what, he would always be that young lad that had once loved and doted upon her, even if she had cursed at him in her darkest hour and prayed for him to receive his just desserts.

Now that punishment was being served, Ye Youyou found it hard to accept.

When Shen Luo’an heard her, the smile on his face disappeared. He said, “The kind one is you, Ye Youyou. I’m just a scumbag.”
