He first laughed loudly, then tightened his hold around her, leaning closer to her ear while spinning: "Fool. I just wanted to openly—embrace you in public."
What?
Shi Nian's heart skipped a beat unexpectedly, and somehow, her eyes were moist because of it.
Being unable to openly embrace her in public must not be his own hesitation. With his personality, he doesn't fear others' eyes... What he truly cares about is her feelings.
He knows she's afraid, he knows she still can't let go of being married, hence he painstakingly found such a reason and opportunity, making it too late for her to refuse, while ensuring no one could find fault.
She couldn't control her heartbeat, forgetting to pay more attention to her steps, just deeply inhaling, whispering in his ear: "Actually, tonight, maybe I should've gone home with Xiang Yuan. The marriage counselor said, repairing a marriage requires effort from both... But somehow, I'm suddenly tired, and don't want to keep trying with him."
