"You mustn’t!" Before Tang Ming could finish speaking, Xu Pei had already cried out sternly, "I won’t let you harm Zimo."
Tang Ming glanced sideways, looking at her bandaged face, "What did you say?"
He frowned deeply, staring at Xu Pei before him, his eyes filled with disbelief.
At this point, was she still protecting that person?
"I won’t let you harm Zimo," Xu Pei repeated.
"Do you still love him?" Tang Ming asked quietly.
"No, I don’t!" Xu Pei turned her face away, not looking into his eyes, "I just don’t want my Emperor View to be destroyed. I built it from the ground up; it’s my dream. If something happens to Leng Zimo, Emperor View will be finished..."
"You’re lying!" Tang Ming grabbed her wrist forcefully, lifting her gloved hand to her own eyes, "Look at this, look at what you’ve become. All thanks to Leng Zimo. You’re still protecting him, talking about Emperor View, talking about your dreams, you’re lying about it all..."
Her wounds on the hand were still fresh, and his grip made them throb with pain. Xu Pei winced, her face crinkling beneath the bandages, "Tang Ming, let me go, it hurts!"

In his panic, he let go of her hand and helped her to sit down on a chair, "I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you... Xiao Pei, don’t cry... The wounds on your face haven’t healed yet; tears could affect the skin graft, I promise you, I won’t go after Leng Zimo, be good... stop crying..."
He took a cotton swab from beside him and gently dabbed away the tears at the corners of her eyes with the cotton.
His movements, exceedingly tender.
Xu Pei sat on the chair, watching his focused actions, and her tears gradually stopped, calming down.
"Tang Ming, I know you want to avenge me, but I..."
