Lin Yan suddenly comprehended what she had said and immediately felt like burrowing a hole to hide. She waved her hands wildly, "Sorry! Sorry! It was a slip of my tongue!"
She was just reckless with her words! She had been seduced by his beauty and had blurted out what was on her mind!
Pei Yucheng chuckled lightly. It seemed as though a weak ray of winter sunlight had penetrated the wintry darkness.
The man quipped, "I'm afraid not."
Lin Yan felt even more embarrassed after she heard Pei Yucheng's answer.
Ever since she had moved in with Pei Yucheng, he had always treated her with respect and politeness. He had never invaded her privacy and had been mindful about keeping a safe distance from her.
She had only thought that Pei Yucheng was a gentleman. In hindsight… Had Pei Yucheng been guarding himself against her?
The heavens could be her witness. She had never once harbored ulterior motives of any kind.
