Although Ling Yanye told himself he was in the right, the moment he faced Ling Lu’s cold, indifferent expression, he couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh.
Her attitude was clearly abysmal. Her cold, distant gaze and sharp, stinging words were a hundred times worse than the timid, submissive way she used to act. Yet, Ling Yanye didn't know what was happening to him. The cutting, cruel remarks he once could have spat out with ease were now stuck in his throat, impossible to utter. He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the turbulence within, only to find that these complex emotions were surging like a tide, refusing to settle. Every time their eyes met, her icy gaze pierced his heart like a blade, leaving him utterly lost.
Ling Yanye couldn't help but reflect on when exactly it was that every subtle change in Ling Lu began to affect him so profoundly. He recalled their first meeting; back then, the way Ling Lu looked at him was full of longing and affectionate attachment. Now, however, there was nothing left but ice. This transformation left a hollow void in his chest, as if he had lost something precious.
