He would rather pretend that Ye Chu was her so that he could find some peace and comfort for his heart that had been drying out for eleven years. He just needed a small moment of peace, and Ye Chu still refused to give him some of that.
She did it on purpose.
She slapped him on purpose to break his illusions, hopes, and dreams.
Mercilessly.
How cruel!
Wei Ling could see that Ye Tingyun, who was heavily injured, could not handle this. Wei Ling was livid. "Why are you so vicious? You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Ye Chu scoffed. "The Second Master of your family regarded me as his deceased lover. He has to see if I am willing to be his deceased lover as well. I am just telling him that I am not who he is looking for and that he should give up."
She did not feel a single bit of pity for Ye Tingyun.
