It's Hard to Turn Down Such Warmth

Sheng Qing loved Zhou Yi'an for five years, from the age of thirteen to eighteen. Everyone knew about it, and she became the laughingstock of the whole city. All she got in return was her father and sisters’ deaths, the ruin of her family, imprisonment, and Zhou Yi'an’s casual remark: “You deserved it.” Later, after Sheng Qing was released from prison, Zhou Yi'an knelt before her and offered up everything the Zhou family had worked for over the years, just to win her forgiveness. Before Sheng Qing could refuse, someone had already pulled her into his arms. The head of the top-tier Lu family gave a low laugh and kissed Sheng Qing on the cheek. “I’m so sorry. My wife wouldn’t even want this little bit.”
