Chapter 357: Excuse to Leave

After she finished speaking, the atmosphere froze for a moment.

Ji Yao realized belatedly that she had said something wrong.

"I, um, that's not what I meant..."

She hadn't planned to mention anything about her time abroad in front of others, especially not in front of Lu Jincheng.

The more she mentioned, the more she would reveal.

Perhaps it was because the mood had been so good just now, her guard was down, so she accidentally revealed her true feelings.

Lu Jincheng's lips formed a tight line, his heart filled with an indescribable feeling.

The fact that she spoke so naturally showed that she must have suffered a lot abroad and faced many tribulations, to the point where it seemed like nothing to her.

Recalling this filled his heart with nothing but self-reproach and shame.
