"I understand, Lui," she said cautiously in a voice filled with a hint of a grievance. It was only then did Chu Lui realize that he had said some harsh words to her. Out of guilt, he embraced her into his arms.
He knew she had done all these because she was worried about him. He shouldn't vent his anger on her. He had already mistreated her in so many ways. He couldn't deny whatever he had done. Once he had saved this child, he would love her with all his heart and remain faithful to her alone.
"I'm sorry," he apologized. He seemed to be apologizing a lot recently. Other than apologizing, he did not know of any other way to express himself.
"I know. I should be the one to apologize." Li Manni snuggled into his arms. However, her eyes were clouded by deep sorrow. Did this man love her? Was it simply because she was his responsibility? Or perhaps, he didn't even know that he had already given his heart away four years ago.
