Chapter 27: She has the blackest heart!
Hua Jing stared at Xia Lin, surprised by her reaction.
Xia Lin's face was etched with worry, her hands fidgeting nervously as she avoided Hua Jing's gaze.
"Why are you reacting like this?" Hua Jing asked, her tone light but curious.
Xia Lin hesitated, her lips pressing into a thin line before she spoke.
"They treated you so badly," she said softly. "Why do you want to see them again?"
She was the witness to everything that those vile people had done to Hua Jing so how could she let her go back to that awful place?
Hua Jing's brow arched slightly at the question.
Xia Lin glanced up, her expression a mix of concern and confusion.
"Now that you're with the prince," Xia Lin continued, "you're free. You don't have to go back to them anymore. There's no reason to."
They had even spent the night together so there was no way the prince would treat her badly so why was she so hell bent on going back there!
Hua Jing tilted her head, studying Xia Lin carefully.
