Shi Aoju vaguely recalled that morning when he first saw her. After he insulted her with words, she had that resolute expression on her face, like a rose blooming in the desert, full of defiance.
Shi Aoju squinted slightly, a hint of an unfathomable meaning flowing in his eyes.
Over the years, Su Jiuyi was like a beast trapped in a cage, yearning for a life of freedom yet unable to break free. Life in the Su Family was like a never-ending rain, sticky and persistent, impossible to drive away, clinging to her causing discomfort. To survive, she had to learn to fight back with strength in the face of others' sneers and ridicule.
Actually, Su Jiuyi didn't mean to deliberately provoke him; it was just that she was angry at herself for repeatedly being so sentimental.
Knowing full well it was an abyss, she still plunged in without a second thought.
She didn't want this kind of one-sided infatuation.
