389 I Can't Bear It

"A fuss?" Shui Anluo sneered. She gritted her teeth as she enunciated every word. "Is every explosion of feeling a fuss to you? You'd never care about someone else's feelings, would you?"

Chu Ningyi initially felt the urge to throw the pillow back at her as he listened to what she had just said. However, when he saw his sleeping son on the bed, he held himself back and methodically placed the pillow behind her.

"If we inadvertently alert the enemy, the consequences..." Chu Ningyi said as he slowly approached her and brushed his warm breath over her face.

"I'll bear it on my own." Shui Anluo clenched her fists.

"I can't bear it." Chu Ningyi and Shui Anluo had spoken in unison.

Shui Anluo was shaken. The remnants of her voice were still caught in her mouth as his surprising words echoed in her ears.

Because of what he had said, she felt as if the cat has got her tongue. She was rendered speechless.
