Chapter 231

She was not the pristine, flawless moon. Yu Qinghuai had known this for a long time. Yet, the elite upbringing he had received since childhood made him stubbornly insist that his future lover should be upright and proper, not like Jiang Yuchi—a woman who possessed the most innocent-looking eyes, yet treated his genuine heart as a bargaining chip, squeezing out twelve-fold returns for every three-fold sweetness she bestowed. Once he realized that Jiang Yuchi was not as deeply in love with Yujie as he had thought, his perspective shifted, and everything from the past suddenly became crystal clear. Every glance of hers, every lingering moment of hesitation, and every perfectly timed instance of distraction were nothing more than carefully orchestrated traps. How much of the sorrow she showed for his brother was truly sincere? It was merely a ruse to drive him into a jealous frenzy, forcing him to act like a pathetic gambler constantly increasing the stakes of his own pitiful affection, all just to prove that he understood how to love her better than his brother did.
