Su Yushan glanced at him with her starry eyes, her red lips pursed slightly, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself, "I dare not tell the truth."
Knowing it was unpleasant to hear, it still successfully piqued his curiosity. To dispel her concerns, Hongli generously said, "Speak freely, and you will be forgiven."
Since it was his request, she boldly voiced her dissatisfaction: "You treat me differently depending on the situation. When you're happy, you're gentle and considerate, but when you're unhappy, you make a fuss over nothing. I really dislike your fickle attitude. I always feel like you might turn on me at any moment, and I feel very uneasy around you."
She was unhappy, but how could he feel any better? "You and Zheng Lin were once deeply in love, and you even begged me to let you go and grant your wish. Now that I see you two meeting, do you think I can feel at ease?"
These words sounded familiar. Su Yushan remembered that he had questioned her once, and she had already explained it clearly at the time. Why was he bringing up the old grievances now?
"You keep bringing up the past, but what can I do? I can't change the past. People move forward, and it's pointless to keep bringing up past grievances. If you mind, or if you don't trust me, you can just kick me out!"

Gazing into her eyes, Hongli sighed softly, "Don't you understand what I want?"
With her delicate brows furrowed slightly, Su Yushan's large eyes were filled with doubt. "Just say what you want. Don't beat around the bush. How am I supposed to know what you want if you don't tell me?"
He didn't know if she was asking knowingly or if she genuinely didn't understand. There were some things he didn't want to say explicitly, but if he didn't, the knot in his heart would remain stuck there.
At that moment, he suddenly remembered what Yu Shan had once told him: the most comfortable state for two people to be in is to be open and honest with each other. Rather than harboring resentment and holding grudges, it's better to talk things out.
Thinking of this, Hongli's gaze locked onto her eyes, and he said bluntly, "I want your heart."
