"..." Baili Xia was left a bit speechless.
She thought something serious had happened to Nangong Xu, but it turned out to be just this.
However, her nonchalance only made Nangong Xu feel heavier.
"If I made a mistake, I should be punished. No matter how you decide to penalize me, I will accept it willingly."
He did not take this as lightly as she did. For him, the issue was extremely serious.
A promise, for every man, is the heaviest burden on his shoulders.
He promised her that he wouldn't let Nangong Yun take her credit. He was determined to keep that promise.
But now, he was unable to do so. He had betrayed someone's trust.
Sometimes, losing faith and deserting justice could be more painful than death.
These things were not what a young girl like her would understand.
And he didn't plan to explain it to her either.
As long as she was willing to punish him, willing to vent on him.
Even if she demanded his life, he would not utter a word of refusal!
