CHAPTER 483

Ye Chaoxiang held Ning Xiaozhi in his arms. It was the only way he felt he could give her assurance and warmth after her phone call.

Feeling that she had stopped crying as only her sniffles could be heard, he pulled himself away but not too far though. He gently brushed the strands of her hair that had stuck to her face due to the tears.

"Listen to me, my love," he said while tilting her head so that her eyes could meet his. "You have to do as your mother says."

"What?" Ning Xiaozhi instantly moved away from him.

She looked him in the eye just like he wanted. All there was on his face was his usual calm and serious expression. She felt a tug in her chest.

"You... You want me to agree with her? Do you want me to get married to someone else? But you just said you would not let that happen? Are you going back on your words now?" Her eyes shook as she questioned him.
