Gu Ningyue froze, oh no, she's raised Ling Tianyou's suspicions.
"Is this very important?"
After a while, she looked at Ling Tianyou and asked this question.
Ling Tianyou countered, "Not important? Is there anything else you're hiding from me?"
Gu Ningyue was silent for a moment and then replied with a smile, "Well, that's something you'll have to discover for yourself! But there is one thing I can assure you, I won't harm you."
She had way too many secrets. If she told Ling Tianyou all of them, she feared she'd be taken away to be turned into a research project.
She wasn't that foolish.
Ling Tianyou stared into Gu Ningyue's eyes, trying to find a clue in her gaze, but her eyes were so clear and captivating that he couldn't find a trace of deceit.
He lowered his head and lightly kissed her lips, "Forget it, speak when you want to!"
After all, there's still plenty of time; he wasn't worried about never hearing her secret.
