Chapter 258: Sorry, I'm Late

"Ruoruo!"

A tall figure dashed forward, crouched down urgently, and cradled her pale little face, "Are you hurt?"

Xiao Ruo stared in shock at the man so close by, thinking she was hallucinating.

"...Brother Fu?" She released her almost bitten-through lower lip, tentatively calling out.

"It's me!" Deep self-reproach filled his eyes as he hugged her close to his chest, repeatedly saying, "I'm sorry, I'm late, I'm sorry..."

Listening to his heartbeat accelerating due to nervousness, Xiao Ruo's eyes reddened, and she began to cry loudly in his arms, "Brother Fu, why did you only come now..."

She had been so frightened just now; she feared she would die under a dagger like in her previous life, with still so many unfulfilled tasks and people she couldn't bear to leave behind.

"I'm sorry." A dull pain spread from the bottom of his heart to every limb, Fu Hanwen tightened his arms, not knowing what else to say besides these three words.
