Rong Shaoze explained, "Xinlan, I didn't mean to keep this from you. I was afraid you'd worry and be upset..."
"I know. But why didn't you find out the truth before you took action? What if it was a trap?"
"Even if it was a trap, I had to go. I couldn't miss any chance to save Xiaocong."
"..." Lin Xinlan fell silent.
Rong Shaoze's actions really made her heart ache.
Actually, if it were her, she would also have risked everything to save Xiaocong.
"Xinlan," the man held her hand and whispered, "I know you miss Xiaocong a lot, and so do I. No matter what rumors there are, I won't miss out. Can you understand me?"
Lin Xinlan lowered her eyes to hide the pain within them.
"I can... but you have to promise me, from now on, don't be so reckless. I don't have Xiaocong now, and if I don't have you, what am I supposed to do?"
"I'm sorry..."
"I don't want to hear 'I'm sorry'."
