The dim light in the bathroom, the soft yellow glow, the slowly rising steam from the basin, made everything before her eyes become hazy.
Shen Li stood in the midst of the bathroom, before Huo Siyu.
The beautiful face, lovely yet melancholic eyes, looked straight at Huo Siyu, then asked softly, "What am I worth to you?"
In Bai Nian's eyes, she had a price, which is why he would negotiate with Huo Siyu. Perhaps that price was high, but in the end, it was still a price. She could be traded around like goods.
And in Huo Siyu's heart...
What was she?
"A price?"
A flicker of confusion passed through Huo Siyu's eyes as he looked at Shen Li before him.
As if she were surrounded by the light and the mist, she shimmered with a faint glow.
Though she tried hard to restrain herself, her eyes brimmed with tears that hadn't yet fallen, some barely touching her eyelashes.
Carrying an immense sense of vulnerability and pitifulness.
"Yes, a price... just like when you bought me..."
