Dai Qingshu gradually recovered and suddenly became very excited. He started crying and laughing, muttering to himself.

I couldn't hear what he was saying, and fear gradually spread within me.

Instinctively, to protect myself, I took the chance when he wasn’t paying attention and struck the back of his neck with an ornament.

Dai Qingshu looked back in disbelief, then immediately fell onto the carpet.

I used a great deal of effort to tightly bind Dai Qingshu, imitating the way he had tied up Gu Qingyu.

Prolonged binding would leave large bruises on the skin, and I didn’t have much time left.

After waking Dai Qingshu up, I asked him, “Tell me everything that happened.”

Dai Qingshu used the same old trick, looking at me with those heartbroken eyes.

Honestly, if my sister hadn’t died and I hadn’t experienced betrayal from my parents and the whole world, I definitely would have been fooled by his blinking eyes.

Unfortunately, I am no longer who I used to be.

Faced with his doe-eyed look, I couldn’t help but curl my lips into a mocking smile.

At this point, still pretending?

Realizing that this trick didn’t work, Dai Qingshu changed his expression and began to tell his story.
