Chapter 219: Why Not?

Ling Chen opened his mouth and, looking at Nanrong Wanqing in the pitch-dark, didn't know what to say. After some thought, the words "I'm sorry" finally came out of his mouth.

Nanrong Wanqing bit her lip corner, as if an overwhelming wave of sourness hit her heart at that instant, her beautiful eyes reddened. She took a deep breath, trying hard to adjust her emotions, "Didn't you say you would never come back to East Sea City?"

"I..." Ling Chen gave a bitter smile and fell into silence. It wasn't him who said that. Tang Yuan thought he had died afar, so he made up that lie to cover up the true circumstances of his death.

Hearing the faint sobbing from the bed, Ling Chen's heart softened. He went to the bedside and explained, "I'm sorry, I thought I couldn't make it back before, so I... I had no intention to deceive you."

"Now that you're back, why not just come through the front door? Why sneak into my room?"
