Ye Shikai spoke a seemingly absurd yet heartfelt truth. To others, it may appear not only greedy but even somewhat shameless. Ye Shikai wanted to win the hearts of two beautiful women simultaneously, a feeling only he could understand.
Ye Shikai was now terrified that Chen Yuxin might ask the kind of question like if she and Su Qingyu were drowning, who would he save first. Such profoundly philosophical questions often trap people in a vicious cycle of "love" or "not love"...
Similarly, Ye Shikai hoped that Chen Yuxin could understand him, as Su Qingyu was now his wife. He couldn't just discard her like baggage for the sake of Chen Yuxin; that would be truly despicable. Perhaps Chen Yuxin had realized this all along but just didn't want to admit it.
