After leaving Quanju Building, Zhen'er looked extremely disheveled.
Ruoxi glanced over and quickly said, "I'll hire a carriage, wait a moment."
Zhen'er seemed not yet recovered from the earlier panic, responding softly, "Alright."
Such a state of Zhen'er was something Ruoxi had never seen before. She assumed Zhen'er was severely hurt and thought once they were on the carriage, she must check on her.
Once Zhen'er was helped onto the carriage, Ruoxi eagerly said, "Let me take a look at you."
Yet Zhen'er gently shook her head and said, "I'm not hurt; how could she injure me? It's just a twisted ankle, no big deal."
"Then why?" Ruoxi was utterly puzzled as to why Zhen'er still seemed terrified.
Zhen'er lifted her eyes to look at her and slowly said, "I'm roughly aware of what you went through at the Xiao Family.
I've always wondered, given how the Xiao Family treated you, I held a heart full of bad intentions back then, but why didn't you retaliate?"
