"Huh?" The boy stood there, stunned and completely bewildered.
His good intentions had been utterly rejected—not just by Wang Xiao, but by the very person he thought he was rescuing.
The world suddenly felt unfair, twisted.
He glanced at Wang Xueying, confusion clouding his face. "Are you serious?!" He looked at her tear-streaked face, and for a moment, something nagged at him—she seemed familiar, like he'd seen her before.
But where?
"Baby, let's go," his girlfriend said softly, tugging at his sleeve.
Her eyes darted nervously between the two siblings, sensing there was more to this than met the eye.
He hesitated for a second, still unsure, but eventually nodded and let her pull him away.
As they walked off, he couldn't help but steal one last glance at Wang Xueying's face, trying to place where he'd seen her. 'That kind of beauty… how could I not know about her?'
