"Xia Nuo..." Leng Yan walked up to her, squatted down, and held her hand, his eyes filled with pain and pleading, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just..."
"You just didn't want to lose me, right?"
Leng Yan nodded vigorously, gripping her hand even tighter, "I was afraid that if you knew what my mother had done to your family, you wouldn't stay with me. Xia Nuo, I swear, this is the last time I'll deceive you, I won't lie to you ever again... Will you forgive me this once?"
Xia Nuo's tears suddenly rolled down, and she said sadly, "Just because you were afraid I would leave you, does it justify deceiving me and letting me hurt my parents? Leng Yan, you saw it too, we got married, but my parents didn't break us up. For our happiness, they chose to put aside their grudges. Luckily, they were understanding, but what if they weren't? What if they strongly opposed us, what would the outcome be?"
Leng Yan's jaw tightened, and his face turned a few shades paler.
