When Xia Meiren left the room, Lu Yifeng opened his eyes. He stared at the ceiling with thoughts. He heard what she said earlier since he woke up by the time she entered the room.
He felt as though there was this hole in his chest and this invisible hand, wringing his heart and ripping it to shreds after hearing her words.
How can he make things right with her? Back then, he didn't believe in love at first sight but it happened to him. Although instead of love, he told himself that he was just attracted to her.
What made him endure the pain that her grandparents brought him was because he believes that it was his responsibility to make up for his mistake. Despite being a man who brought terror to others, he was actually a pretty decent person... as long as no one tried to go in his bad side.
Did he regret his actions that night? No he didn't. He wasn't apologizing for his actions that night. Little Melon wouldn't come into this world if that didn't happen. He might even lose the opportunity to know a woman like Xia Meiren.
If that night didn't happen, he could've meet Xia Meiren in a different situation but that doesn't guarantee him that she will still be single.
The reason why he apologized to her was for hurting her and for bringing pain to her because of what happened. He regretted using his money as a compensation when he can just offer her his body. He should have stayed that night and accepted her anger when she wakes up. He didn't know that she was actually drugged by someone but if he did, he would not force her into something she will not like.
