Chapter 1389 Belle of the Ball

• Not expecting this question from her, Lin Xuzheng was silenced by it and did not respond to her. The caring look on his face had completely vanished, leaving only indifference and coldness. So did the warmth in the air in the ward. Realizing that she might have misspoken, Xu Yanwan panicked. "I'm sorry, Xuzheng. I haven’t been in a good mood, so I've been speaking nonsense. You should go," she continued. "Again, I'm truly sorry. I shouldn't have used any inappropriate examples, much less use you as the subject of my example. You've truly taken good care of me back in the days. I went overboard."
• Lin Xuzheng felt bad after seeing how Xu Yanwan could not stop blaming herself. This girl had just witnessed the love of her life with another woman, which had broken her heart. Besides, her parents had both passed; she had lost everything. It was fortunate that she was strong enough to not have collapsed after going through all these and could still conduct herself with such circumspection. After all, they grew up together, so Lin Xuzheng decided to not be too harsh on her. He exhaled. "I can forgive you for what happened earlier, but don't ever use my wife as an example again; do you understand? You should know well how much she meant to me."
• "Okay. I won't do it again; I was just being a jerk. Please, Xuzheng, just go home now and leave me by myself. I'll be okay after this."
