The two of them sat quietly on the embankment. It was the first time they had ever sat together in such peaceful silence.
Lin Xiao gazed at Su Qingning's charming profile. Its perfect contours seemed like the heavens' finest masterpiece. The afternoon sun danced upon her face, as if plating her in a sacred, unbelievably alluring light.
Su Qingning seemed to sense his stare and turned her head to glance at him. The moment their eyes met, she quickly looked away.
"Didn't you want to talk? Why are you so quiet?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.
Su Qingning was silent for a moment before saying softly, "I'm sorry about last night."
Hmm? Lin Xiao was stunned; he hadn't expected her to apologize. To be honest, the incident last night had left him somewhat upset. But then again, Su Qingning hadn't really done anything wrong. Their marriage was indeed for a six-month term, and that had been agreed upon beforehand.
