Li Yi, who had kept quiet till now, couldn't bear seeing Li Yiran's distress. He clenched his jaw and stood up. "Today's mess isn't her fault. It's on me. I set her up."
As soon as he spoke, everyone's attention shifted to Li Yi.
Li Yiran felt conflicted. She'd known Li Yi had feelings for her, but she'd only used him. To be blunt, she didn't see him as anything more than a tool. When she realized she couldn't marry Huangfu Ruiling, she turned her attention to Huangfu Ruixiang.
She'd treated Li Yi well because he was useful to her. But now, he was taking the fall for her without hesitation. She didn't know what to make of it.
"Bullshit." Huangfu Ruixiang sneered at Li Yi, his eyes filled with malice. "You've been in cahoots with her for a while. Of course, now you're trying to protect her. You can't fool anyone with that story."
