"Keep silent, Mei Xin," Fengming declared firmly. "I married you for real, and you're not going anywhere," he asserted before closing his eyes.

"But your mother will cry behind your back. She will not forgive me ever. You can have a better life once I walk away from your life," Mei Xin murmured. 

Fengming opened his eyes as he chuckled. He pushed Mei Xin against the window of the carriage, thus taking her by surprise. "I have to use other ways to shut your mouth," he affirmed. 

"We are given an opportunity to turn everything right. Your father agreed to let me go and–" Mei Xin paused as he pressed his lips against hers. She stopped breathing and blinking at the same time. 

Fengming pulled away and peered into her eyes. "Stay quiet. I want silence around me," he stated firmly. He moved back to his place, finding that Mei Xin had finally stopped speaking.
