"No, they are not such people," Kuang Kanzhi said, turning his head to look at Ah Zhu. Even after so many years, he still sees her as a delicate white lotus, beautiful and timid, stirring feelings of compassion.
He shares a special fate with her. Back then, he could have chosen not to protect her, but when she fragilely tugged at his shirt and looked up at him with tears, timidly saying, "I only trust you," he felt a responsibility to accompany and protect her.
Over these years, he was the only one who knew why she dared not go back to find her family. For her reputation, he couldn't share even a bit with others, only revealing some to his wife to soothe her.
His wife, Xiao Fang, also pitied Ah Zhu, which is why she agreed to let her stay at their home. In the past few years, she even unwillingly spent money on medicine for Ah Zhu and treated her well, but Qingqing knew nothing and was always causing trouble, scaring Ah Zhu many times.
