Her Advice...

Ming Rusheng back hugged her, "I have something to tell you."

Lu Lian could guess what he meant, but she was not in a hurry and said, "Not now."

It puzzled him, and she continued, "This time, I don't want you to say or do anything that you would want to take back like before. If you do, I couldn't handle it."

"I won't take it back," he assured. 

"But I want you to take your time and think it over again," she insisted. 

"There are other things too, those I want to tell you, but I'm scared you might hate me."

"The last thing I want is to hate you," she said, and Ming Rusheng loosened his hold on her.

"I'll take a leave," she said and left while Ming Rusheng let her be.

Once she left, Ming Rusheng went to his chair and sat while leaning back as he closed his eyes. 

After talking to Lu Lian, Ming Rusheng was puzzled about what to do. He was sure she wouldn't forgive him, and it scared him to lose her forever.
