There was no resistance whatsoever, and there was such wholehearted trust.

Even Jiang Tiecheng's heart, which was as hard as stone, melted at this moment.

yes.

It was his refusal, his repeated refusals, that gave those scoundrels an opportunity to take advantage of him.

I just foresaw the moment when Chen Ruixue might be assaulted.

For the first time, he regretted it!

How could he live with himself if such a kind, sincere girl, who loved him so much, suffered misfortune because of him?

What did Chen Ruixue do wrong?

Simply because they like themselves, they devote themselves wholeheartedly to themselves, even giving up their identity and dignity.

What merit or ability did Jiang Tiecheng possess to meet a girl who would treat him with such wholehearted devotion?

His refusal was without reason; it was simply because he had been hurt and was no longer willing to open his heart.

She's wary of others just because she's been hurt before, but what did Chen Ruixue do wrong?

Why should Chen Ruixue bear this sin for the sake of her ex-wife?

Does he not like Chen Ruixue?

He also liked this sunny and cheerful girl, but he had his own pride.

They were afraid of being looked down upon because they were not of equal social standing or because they were not good enough for a partner.

To put it bluntly, he's selfish. He doesn't want to face such hardships and obstacles, and he doesn't want to have to overcome any difficulties.

To make sacrifices for the other person.

But because of his rejection, his hesitation, and his various forms of indifference, he almost ruined this girl's life.

He held the girl tightly in his arms.

She probably felt the strength and affirmation in his arms and embrace.

Chen Ruixue happily rested her head on Jiang Tiecheng's shoulder.
