Trying to save someone, especially someone Si Yuchen once despised, did not feel at all pleasant.
However, Si Yuchen owed her, and this slight attempt at making amends did nothing to relieve his guilt.
Si Yuchen had always harbored guilt towards Gu Xiaonuan, but this time, the trouble caused by Si Lingtian made him realize the Si Family could never offer her the future she wanted.
Si Lingtian would destroy everything, including Si Yuchen's life.
