After keeping a low profile for a while, Jiang Yanqing decides to focus on her career. But even though she’s already “closed her heart to love,” how does she end u 281Reads—Score—14d adds

But I don't regret what happened.” Later, I understood. It wasn't that he had no regrets. He had turned every bit of regret into a promise to take responsibility.
