Those four words were as light as feathers drifting in the air.
Yet they landed on Xiyan's heart with a heavy blow.
Xiyan took a moment to steady herself, turned her head to look at him: "Ou Jue, does manipulating other people's emotions so casually make you feel accomplished? What exactly do you take me for? Something you can just give away whenever you want? Something you can push aside whenever it suits you? Is that it!?"
Ou Jue stared at her intently: "I have never thought of you as an object."
"But the facts are right in front of me! If it weren't for Qianze, I'd still be in the dark, foolishly oblivious to everything that's going on. If it weren't for Qianze, you wouldn't have come looking for me tonight either, because in your heart, the guilt you feel for Qianze matters far more than I do!"
Ou Jue reached out, wanting to touch Xiyan, but she evaded him.
Xiyan stepped back a few paces: "I'm not the kind of girl you can summon whenever, and dismiss just as easily!"
