"Your feelings? Aren't these my feelings too?"
Upon hearing this, Song Xizhi was stunned for a moment, then tears streamed down his face: "You finally admit it?"
"So you finally admit that the man I shared a bed with day and night in the Marquis's mansion was you?"
The man closed his eyes briefly and remained silent.
Song Xizhi sneered: "Look, you still haven't answered me. Is this how you feel about me?"
"Your feelings mean that even though we're married, we're not truly in love? I don't know who you are, I don't know what you're thinking, and when we passed each other, you said we were strangers?"
The man's jaw tightened, and he felt his heart pounding. A bitter taste rose in his throat, neither swallowing nor spitting it out: "No, it's not like that."
“You clearly love me, and I love you too. We have common goals, and we are not a couple who are sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams.”
Song Xizhi reached out and placed his hand on the man's chest, forcefully pushing him away:

Song Xizhi's voice was low, her eyes were downcast, and she felt her mind was in a mess: "I am sorry for my past overstepping and offense, and I hope it has not affected your plans."
"I don't know what you want to do, nor do I know what your plans are, but I will respect and understand, after all, it's not easy to bear such a deep-seated hatred."
She gave the man a slight curtsy, her attitude respectful yet distant: "From today onwards, outside, I will pretend I don't know you, and in the Marquis's mansion, I will also play the role of a couple in name only."
"When you no longer need the Marquis's mansion and need to leave, I will divorce you, and we will have no further connection."
