She lowered her gaze.
She admitted that the moment she had seen Gu Zichen, the impact on her soul had been profound.
At that moment, she said it was just, well, plain and simple.
In fact, she had never expected anyone to come to her rescue, from Huo Xiaoxi in her past life to Qiao Xiguan in this one. She had grown accustomed to struggling alone, to becoming a legend in the business world, to clearing away those who hindered her path, and to living a life above others.
At this moment.
She could only rely on herself.
Gu Zichen's appearance was due to the lingering affection he still held for her.
But she couldn't pin all her hopes on this man because, as he had just said, life and death were fated, and he would do his best but couldn't guarantee the outcome.
Yet she didn't want to die.
She didn't want to die even if she couldn't rely on anyone else.
