Xinghe was surprised he would promise such a thing.
Tell me should you need any help and I will do everything I can to help you.
That was a serious promise that Mubai gave.
Xinghe turned back to the computer and responded, "In that case, I will do my best to help your family. I'm sure that, with our cooperation, we can overcome this predicament."
"Sounds great!" Mubai said with a winning smile. He was overjoyed because he realized Xinghe was looking out for him. It had been hard work getting to this stage. There was finally a small space for him in her heart…
Then he thought back to the sudden kiss that they shared. When it happened, her response wasn't repugnance but surprise. If Xinghe loathed him as her pursuer, he knew she would have slapped him or worse.
