Zhong Yi's fingers slightly moved as they held the corner of the quilt, a bitter sensation rising in her throat.
"Back then, I had no choice. The Zhong Family found me, right in the middle of that accident. So, I let the identity of Ayi disappear completely. If I went back to find you, Zhong Lingxiao would definitely use your safety to threaten me."
"So you did it for my safety?"
Zhong Yi looked at her with stubborn almond eyes, saying, "Not entirely. I also wanted to see how high I could reach, back then I couldn't protect anyone."
She also wanted to wait until the dust settled, and marry someone.
Now, she's only twenty-two.
Who would have thought she'd get married so early!
If given just one more year, one year would be enough!
Once the year-end passed, he would find a way to get the position of heir and take control of the entire Zhong Family!
But he was a year late.
Just one year.
Fate played its tricks.
