Zi Xingxi blew out three smoke rings as her lips quirked up into a smile. Her eyes closed she cleared her throat and said, "I rarely smoke these days unless under special circumstances... Today's situation is one such example," in a raspy voice.

Zi Han felt a slight sense of guilt so he said, "I was wrong..... I should have stayed home. I am sorry."

I let my emotions spiral out of control just now... you know aside from your grandfather, I only have you," she said before touching the rim of the wine glass on her lips.
