Qin Luo's eyes widened slightly as he looked at Yi Ting's furious expression, his mind racing.
Why does her mood become unstable whenever Xia Zihan is mentioned? Did a major conflict occur between the two of them during that period?
Seeing Qin Luo's shocked expression, Yi Ting suddenly moved closer to his cheek, gently stroking it with her hand. It was as if she wanted to let the sorrow in her eyes seep into Qin Luo's heart little by little with this gentle touch.
"Master, Yiting promised you that she would wait silently for the moment when you would confess everything."
"But when I saw that jealous woman, I knew she wouldn't easily share Master with anyone. But I didn't care about her suspicious look, because I believed that Master would definitely not let Yiting down."
Yi Ting's warm and soft palms caressed Qin Luo's cheeks, her eyes fixed on him, her eyes welling up with tears, yet she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
"However, Master, you have no idea how Xia Zihan treated me tonight, where you couldn't see!"
Her voice was choked with emotion, yet it also carried a hint of defiance.
"The moment she saw me, she put on an air of superiority. She told me to stay away from you. What right does she have to say such things to me? Why am I not worthy to be by my master's side!"
As she said this, Yiting's tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto Qin Luo's shoulder.
“Master, Yiting is really wronged. I love you so much, yet I have to suffer such humiliation from her.”
"Just because she's been a noble princess and a proud phoenix since childhood? I'm just the lowest servant, the ugly duckling hiding in the corner!"
"What right does she have? What right does she have! Master, do you know that she even wanted to slap me back then? Although that slap didn't land, do you know how much my heart ached at that moment?"
As Yi Ting spoke, her emotions became increasingly agitated. She suddenly wrapped her arms around Qin Luo's neck and threw herself into his arms, bursting into tears.
The heart-wrenching sobs seemed to release all the grievances, anger, and resentment in her heart through her weeping. The cries echoed in the room, filled with endless sorrow.
At this moment, Qin Luo was filled with many thoughts. He hadn't expected such a big thing to happen in such a short time. No wonder Yi Ting was so excited.
The disparity in their identities, status, and strength made Yiting, who already lacked a sense of security, even more terrified. She was like a fawn adrift in the darkness, when a glimmer of light suddenly pierced through the darkness and brought her warmth.
But now Xia Zihan is like a shadow that covers the sky and the sun, taking away all the warmth she had finally obtained in her heart, and she has no power to resist. How can this not drive her crazy? How can this not drive her to extremes?
Suddenly, Yiting raised her head, her eyes red and swollen, gradually revealing a sickly look:
"Master, shall I take you away? Let's go to a new place and start over. There, I will work hard to cultivate and become stronger. I will become so strong that no one can bully me anymore, and no one can take you away from me."
"We will live together there carefree, forever!"
Qin Luo looked at Yi Ting's tear-streaked yet expectant face and sighed inwardly. He knew that Yi Ting was currently overwhelmed by emotions, but wasn't this also a sign of her excessive worry about being taken away by someone else?
Suppressing the feeling of weakness in his body, Qin Luo trembled as he raised his hand and placed it on her tear-streaked face, gently wiping away the tear stains at the corners of her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I've been neglecting your feelings all this time, and I've made you suffer."
"Don't worry, I will tell Zihan everything tomorrow. I said I would give you a title and status, and I will never let you fall into this kind of wronged situation again."
"Your master will give you a proper title, so that you will have the status you deserve in front of others and will no longer be looked down upon or bullied by others."
At this point, Qin Luo smiled slightly, though the smile was somewhat pale and weak.
"Master wants to ensure that my Ting'er will never suffer any injustice again!"
Although his words were somewhat weak due to his physical weakness, they were filled with deep seriousness and assurance.
"Ting'er..."
As Yi Ting listened to Qin Luo's words, she murmured softly. With each murmur, the sickness in her eyes faded, replaced by disbelief and surprise.
Then he tightly grasped Qin Luo's hand that was on his face, as if he had grasped the most precious thing in the world.
"Master, Yiting has been waiting for this moment for a very, very long time..."
Looking at Qin Luo's weak yet resolute expression, Yi Ting spoke with a choked voice. She could feel Qin Luo's determination at that moment, and the deep guilt he felt towards her.
That "Ting'er" opened the door in Yi Ting's heart that had been locked by grievances and unease for so long. She felt as if she had waited a lifetime to finally receive this address full of affection and promise.
All the tears swallowed alone in the darkness, the loneliness endured in silence, and the heartache felt in that moment seemed to have meaning.
“Ting’er, your master knows this message comes too late, but my feelings for you will not waver because of anything. Tomorrow’s confession to Zihan, no matter the outcome, I will not let you suffer any injustice.”
"Master~"
Upon hearing this, Yi Ting's eyes seemed to overflow with love, her gaze so intense it enveloped Qin Luo completely, her heart filled with indescribable emotion and sweetness.
“Master, with your words, Yiting has no regrets in this life.”
Yi Ting's voice was soft yet firm. She knelt down beside Qin Luo's bed, staring intently at him as if she could never get enough of looking at him.
