Shang Ruyi silently looked at her.
Her heart was initially filled with bitterness, but when she heard Lei Yu mention how good Yiasu was to her, she felt a bit of comfort. However, upon hearing the latter part, a surge of unfamiliar bitterness welled up inside her.
She thought of Pei Xingyuan.
In fact, ever since she arrived here and met Lei Yu, she had been trying to avoid thinking about Pei Xingyuan.
Especially not thinking about the forlorn look on Pei Xingyuan's face when he learned that Lei Yu was to marry far away into the Turkic—knowing full well that it was impossible, yet recalling how they were together in the past still brought a pang of sadness.
They could have had a different life.
But these chaotic times meant many lovers could not be together, and left many dreams shattered far from home.
"...Alright."
Shang Ruyi bit her lips hard, even biting the tip of her tongue, finally swallowing down the words that shouldn't be said, only responding with that one word.
