"In that case, I will be more attentive, I can't let her fall into your brother's hands. If something happens to her when you return, I wouldn't be able to face you." Shangguan Ruolin knew the complexity of his own emotions, and the bitterness he felt was something only he understood. Gu Ningxuan entrusted him with the care of Su Jiameng, the very person he held affection for, naturally Ruolin didn't want Gu Ningxuan to walk the same path as him and repeat the same mistakes.
"Ruolin, thank you for this great kindness." Gu Ningxuan knew that he currently had no power or influence, and Shangguan Ruolin's willingness to help was due to their childhood friendship. It's in adversity that true feelings are revealed, and a timely help in trouble is always more memorable than adding icing on the cake.
