Chapter 839 Promise

• Even though she had avoided asking Hu Tu about her relationship with Ning Jian over these years, if Wen Xicong’s guess was correct, they must have started to date since their university days. If it wasn’t because they loved each other truly, she couldn’t find any explanation for them to last this long. However, their relationship was technically incest, so she couldn’t imagine the tribulations waiting for them in a world where their love was forbidden. The woman felt sad at the thought of that. Love is but something that blinds its victims to the structure of society, I guess. They can’t run from this.
• After a moment of silence, she said, “We’re adults, Xue Kai, so just forget what happened last night. Don’t worry. I won’t hold it against you.” She believed that fate pulled its strings from behind the veil of reality, so she didn’t want to force it. If they were fated to be, then everything would come in time, but if not, she didn’t want to force it, for it would simply end up a tragedy. Just go with the flow. If she wanted to lock him down, then using the fact that he was Kiki’s father would be more reliable than using the fact that they had sex. She went down and quickly went to the elevator.
• “Hold it right there, Wen Xicong!” His roar shocked her. When she turned around, the woman was met with his dark expression and cold gaze, so her legs almost turned to jelly.
