Then, she looked towards Situ Xuan, with eyes filled with apologies, with regret, but decidedly absent of the affection he desired. She simply looked down and said softly to Situ Xuan, "I'm sorry."
This was the second time Situ Xuan had heard her say "I'm sorry" today, and although the situations were different, the meaning was the same—
She was rejecting him, despite feeling "guilty," despite being able to sense his feelings, she still refused him!
At that moment, Situ Xuan suddenly experienced an extremely painful sensation! Even though he knew it wasn't over yet, that he hadn't lost, but seeing Jian Anning so resolute in rejecting him and choosing Yu Zexiao, he admitted he was indeed hurt!
After all, no matter how it had started, Jian Anning was truly the first woman he had taken to heart, even one he wished to be with forever.
Unfortunately, her heart, which he had almost won, was still eventually lost!
