Ji Yunchu had originally come to tell Mei Gongxue that his protection of Mei Xianghan a moment ago was entirely because the child she carried was useful to him. As for Mei Xianghan’s life or death, that was of no importance to him at all. He had assumed that once he clarified this and reaffirmed that he was still the same "Brother Yunchu" who had cared only for her from the very beginning, Mei Gongxue would understand.
Yet, he had not expected that despite all his explanations, Mei Gongxue seemed not to care in the slightest! Most crucially, he could see no trace of reproach or jealousy in her eyes—not even a hint of resentment! How could she not be jealous? How could she not be resentful? He had just wounded her in order to protect another woman! She should have been crying and throwing a fit, loudly questioning him!
A flicker of panic, one he didn't even realize was there, surfaced in Ji Yunchu's eyes. "Xiaoxue, we have so many years of history between us. Do you really have no feelings left for me at all?"
