Even as the cherished daughter, there comes a day when one must grow up.
Back then, she thought if she could endure such a tough environment, she wouldn't be scared of anything in the future.
She once thought, if one day Feng Ziheng knew about this, she might feel wronged.
She might even complaing too sentimentally, "Why did you only find out now?"
But now, she found herself incredibly calm, an unimaginable kind of calm.
"Actually, when I was in the desert, I thought that if I made it out on my own, and wasn't so desperate, I would be honest with you," Chu Liangxia said. "Ziheng, are you mad at me for keeping it a secret and causing everyone trouble?"
"Not mad, blame me."
Blame him for not thinking of so many possibilities.
"I think things have been pretty good," Chu Liangxia's voice was gentle, carrying a sigh. "If I'd been upfront with you then, I surely would have never left the protection of your wings."
"Yeah."
