She sniffled, "I agreed to it for the money."
Wen Shulin was somewhat incoherent, "I needed money, my mom also needed money, I couldn't just watch her struggling alone..."
"Shulin, you've really had a tough time." Chen Cheng embraced her to provide comfort and strength.
At this point, Wen Shulin began to choke up, her tears becoming uncontrollable.
Chen Cheng tenderly held her in his arms, gently patting her back, offering silent consolation.
He knew that those past wounds were indelible scars in Wen Shulin's heart.
After a while, Wen Shulin's emotions began to settle down.
She left Chen Cheng's embrace, wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and continued: "That's the real reason why I signed the Sponsorship Agreement back then."
She gazed at the man in front of her,
"Chen Cheng, I'm telling you all this so you know that I'm not as perfect as you imagine."
