Su Li gave a pain-filled smile at that question.

”Happy? Yes, I suppose I should be happy, shouldn't I?”

But before the other person could answer her rhetorical question, she turned to face the other person and relentlessly questioned.

”Tell me, would you be happy if you realised that the person you love had been keeping secrets from you?”

He staunchly ignored the tightness in his heart.
