Meanwhile, Jiang Yuzhu curled up in the blankets in the bedroom, her mood still heavy.
She heard Pei Jingchuan calling from outside the door, but she lacked the energy to respond.
Her heart was filled with a myriad of complex emotions, from jealousy to insecurity, and confusion over her own emotional reactions.
Jiang Yuzhu was well aware of her deep feelings for Pei Jingchuan but couldn't shake off the emotional turmoil brought about by the news she had just seen.
She wanted to be alone and sort out her thoughts.
Under the blankets, Jiang Yuzhu closed her eyes, trying to calm her mood.
She didn't want Pei Jingchuan to see her like this, didn't want her own emotional fluctuations to affect their relationship.
The atmosphere in the bedroom was somewhat oppressive; Jiang Yuzhu felt the warmth of the blankets but couldn't dispel the cold in her heart.
She breathed deeply, hoping to find inner peace.
