Mu Yunshen was silent for quite a while, then he stood up and embraced her body, "Just now Lier was here, I spoke to her."
He spoke each word very slowly, choosing them carefully by her ear, "The things she told you, I know they frightened you. Lier has been spoiled and too willful since childhood, with a bad temper. I apologize on her behalf; she didn't mean any real harm."
Sitian let him hold her, quietly listening, "Are you trying to justify Mo Lier?"
"No, what she said was all wrong. Being with you doesn't tire me, nor do I feel I'm lowering myself for you," Mu Yunshen gradually tightened his arms, "I like being with you, Sitian. I really like you, so much that I just want to spend my whole life with you like this."
She was silent for a moment before asking, "Are you absolutely unwilling to agree to a divorce?"
"Yes."
"What if I insist on leaving?"
"There is no 'what if,' because I will sabotage it."
He spoke very plainly, without any disguise.
Sitian said nothing.
