Chapter 502 I Heard It

Upon these words escaping their lips, both were shaken to the core.

Time seemed to freeze in that moment.

After an indeterminable period of stiffness, Li Mingxi suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing the impulsive statement she had blurted out. She subconsciously wanted to amend, annoyed at herself for not having held back. Why hadn't she restrained herself?

It must have been the intense atmosphere; Doctor Xu was just too gentle.

"That, I didn't mean that, what I mean is, I..." Li Mingxi stammered, but she didn't know how to correct what she had impulsively said moments ago.

Xu Ji chuckled softly next to her ear.

"I heard you."

He lifted his hand to cradle her face, looking into her eyes as he lowered his gaze: "Miss Li Mingxi, I heard you, so your words just now cannot be taken back; I took them seriously."

"I..." Li Mingxi's slightly parted lips stalled in the midst of his tender gaze.

As if under a spell, she couldn't utter another word.
