Having made this decision, on the night of the wedding, he clearly told Xiang Yun that he already had the girl he admired and could only offer her status and respect. He couldn't give her anything else.
He still remembered Xiang Yun's astonishment and feeling of being wronged at that time. She cried and questioned him, why marry her if he couldn't love her? Why was he so selfish? Why destroy her happiness to fulfill his own?
Back then, her cheeks were still round, her complexion rosy and vibrant, not at all like now, so pale and thin as if a gust of wind could blow her away, pitifully thin!
Xiang Yun was troubled and didn't sleep well. When she felt a gaze resting on her cheeks, she slowly opened her eyes.
Meeting Mo Zili's gaze, which he hadn't yet withdrawn, she paused for a moment before sitting up straight and asked, "You're awake so soon, are you in pain anywhere?"
