But now, she was terrified after the fact. If he was totally unaware, if Zhong Lingling had no ability to resist, tonight, would she have been ruined at the hands of his older brother?
In such distress, she still sent him a message asking for help; this showed how important he was to this woman.
Xiang Yimo stroked Zhong Lingling's hair, his heart aching with sorrow.
Xiang Yimo himself wasn't poisoned, but his heart and body felt as though they were set ablaze.
When Zhong Lingling kissed him wildly, he was incomparably gentle, fearing that he might hurt her in the slightest.
Woman, I will make sure nothing happens to you! Even if it costs me my own life!
Xiang Yimo knew that he shouldn't... shouldn't be doing this with Zhong Lingling... but he couldn't just watch her in so much pain, he couldn't seek another man to cure her poison, and he certainly couldn't let her die.
In such a moment, he could no longer care about his mother's last words!
