By this point, Su Xue's face had turned somewhat pale. She gulped down a mouthful of drink, choked on it, and couldn't help coughing. Her face flushed red and white in turns, making her look rather pained. Covering her face, she finally said in a hoarse voice:
"No one knows how much pain I've been through in the years Ye Tianming disappeared, especially since he vanished so suddenly without giving me any time for an explanation. I waited for him for three years... Menghan, to be honest with you, I really thought Ye Tianming was never coming back. On top of that, Zhou Jie's parents helped my family quite a bit back then. For me, Zhou Jie was the most suitable person to be with; otherwise, who else could I turn to?"
Li Menghan said meaningfully, "Are you saying you only agreed to Zhou Jie because you thought Ye Tianming wasn't coming back? If you had known back then that he would return, would you have kept waiting for him?"
