His Answer

She finally spoke out about what she had kept bottled in her heart for so long.

Though she said it out loud, she did not feel relaxed.

At that moment, the air seemed to have solidified.

Han Qiqing was even feeling as if she could hardly breathe. Her heartbeat plummeted, and she suddenly wanted to escape.

She didn't want to hear the answer.

Lu Yichen was silent. He stared back at her with a cool and deep gaze that made it hard for anyone to make out his emotions.

"If you don't want to answer…" Han Qiqing smiled bitterly, trying to give herself an excuse.

Although if he really chose not to answer, it would seem that she would then know what the answer was.

That was the last thing she wanted to face.

Lu Yichen's gaze, which was locked on her, shifted slightly, and he finally uttered, "No."

Han Qiqing's mood was in a very complicated state. In the middle of her internal conflict, she suddenly heard his answer.
