章 1521: She Will Stay with Him

Hearing Bai Yaoyao's angry tone, Duan Yanhao's heart felt as though it had been scratched.

"Don't be angry. I wanted to send you back for the new year."

"Yanhao, you're still coming up with such an excuse now?"

Duan Yanhao sighed quietly and replied, "Fine. That night, I heard news about the battle with the southern troops. It was too sudden, and I wasn't prepared yet. Under such circumstances, I couldn't just keep you in Country X. You'll be safe if you go to Country A, and I'll feel assured too."

"But haven't you thought about what would happen to me if you're in danger?"

Duan Yanhao was rendered speechless by Bai Yaoyao's incessant interrogation. A moment later, he answered, "I just wanted you to be safe and sound. I didn't think so much back then."

Bai Yaoyao wanted to throw a tantrum at him, but seeing how frail and weak Duan Yanhao looked, she couldn't bear to do it.
