"Sorry, I didn't know there was such a hidden story..." Feng Yuyue saw the usually aloof and seemingly invincible Qiao Yueting so vulnerable and helpless for the first time, felt a surge of guilt, and quickly apologized.
Qiao Yueting smiled and shook her head, "Why should you apologize? It's not your fault."
"If I had known things were like this, I wouldn't have pursued the matter so thoroughly..."
"You are the victim, desiring the truth is only human," Qiao Yueting said with a bitter smile.
"The real person who should apologize is me. Yuexie turned out this way just to protect me. I feel overwhelmed by guilt because I knew the truth but wouldn't tell you..."
"In such a case, no one would be able to speak," Feng Yuyue said understandingly, "What happened in the past is over; I won't mention it again from now on."
"Feng Yuyue, thank you," Qiao Yueting said gratefully, feeling much relieved because of his words.
Feng Yuyue patted her shoulder, silent.
