Shangguan Xuan walked behind Mo Shisheng, watching his shadow overlap with hers, a very faint smile curving his lips.
"Shangguan Xuan, you should hate me."
Mo Shisheng suddenly stopped and turned around, and the faint smile on the man's lips disappeared without a trace.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xuan's gaze gently fell on Mo Shisheng, "Hate is too heavy, I don't want to carry it."
"Shangguan Leiting was your maternal grandfather who died at my hands. Your mother, Shangguan Murou, and your sister, Shangguan Qi, both died because of me. I've left you with no relatives in this world. How can you remain so indifferent?"
Mo Shisheng's gaze turned slightly cold. "Shangguan Xuan, is your heart made of stone?"
"Oh…"
Mo Shisheng's words seemed amusing. Shangguan Xuan's lips curled slightly, his eyes filled with amusement, though it was mockery. He suddenly turned to look at Mo Shisheng, "And you?"
"What?" Mo Shisheng frowned slightly, seemingly not understanding Shangguan Xuan's meaning.
“I’ve been protecting you since you entered the Shangguan family when you were six. I knew from the beginning that you weren’t a child of the Shangguan family, that you and I weren’t related by blood. I was willing to kill them with my own hands for you. Our hearts are made of stone, but what about yours?”
Shangguan Xuan stared intently at Mo Shisheng, "You can discard the name Shangguan Yan if you want, but how can you just throw away the person who has been with you for so many years?"
"..."
Shangguan Xuan's voice was calm, without roaring or shouting, yet his words stirred up a storm in Mo Shisheng's heart.
She felt a sharp pain in her heart, and then realized that this was the feeling her predecessor had for Shangguan Xuan.
Mo Shisheng pursed her lips; she knew that Shangguan Xuan's words were absolutely true.
When she was discovered in the dungeon of Shangguan Leiting's study, it was Shangguan Xuan who led Qi Jingling and the others to the Shangguan residence. His actions undoubtedly cut off Shangguan Leiting's escape route.
However, Shangguan Xuan did all this for her, yet she still righteously accused him of having a heart made of stone.
Mo Shisheng suddenly smiled, a smile tinged with coldness. She suddenly remembered what Shangguan Xuan had done for her: teaching Shangguan Qi a lesson for her sake, and defying Shangguan Murou and talking back to his birth mother for her sake.
All of this clearly revealed that Shangguan Xuan liked Shangguan Yan, but Mo Shisheng didn't know how to explain it at this moment.
She is not Shangguan Yan
This was too absurd, and she was also afraid that Shangguan Xuan would not be able to accept this fact.
Mo Shisheng let out a soft breath, "Shangguan Xuan, don't you think you're being stupid?"
"..."
Shangguan Xuan did not answer Mo Shisheng's question, but just stared at her quietly, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
It was at this moment that Mo Shisheng finally understood the emotions in his eyes...
Do you like it?
It must be love.
Just because he loved her, he was willing to personally destroy the lives of his entire family. Mo Shisheng felt as if a huge stone was pressing on her heart, making her feel suffocated and unable to breathe.
Shangguan Xuan gently shifted his gaze from Mo Shisheng. "Now that you have abandoned your identity as the elder sister of the Shangguan family, we are no longer siblings. As long as you and the Imperial Preceptor are not married, I will have my chance."
"..."
Seemingly surprised by Shangguan Xuan's words, Mo Shisheng frowned slightly, "Shangguan Xuan, your efforts will be in vain and yield no results."
So what?
Shangguan Xuan smiled gently, his handsome face softening with that smile, making him even more charming and captivating.
