At this moment, Li Muhua really regretted saying those words that went against his will, those words should be said to himself and left to himself.
How could Li Muqi not see the anger in Li Muhua's eyes, and the strong hatred. It's just that Li Muqi can't understand in his heart, why does Li Muhua hate himself so much, is it because of Zhang Zhenggang? Or Zhang Mochen?
How could Li Shuheng not know Li Muqi's thoughts, from the words of that excerpt, Li Shuheng knew that Li Muqi wanted to leave Huaiwangfu and didn't want to go back to Huaiwangfu. Li Shuheng understood even more that Li Muqi did this, but he didn't want to have a conflict with Li Muhua, as if Li Muqi already knew that there would be a conflict between them.
