Rong Ning was listening intently when she suddenly stopped. She frowned and said, "What's wrong? Keep going!"
“Young Master Zhu’s wife must truly love him!” Mo’er sighed softly. “Otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen to stay when it came to life and death.”
But what she didn't know was that the man she was willing to risk her life for didn't love her that much.
