Chapter 0203 Sudden Crisis!

"I only hold myself accountable for the words I have said, even if I forgot them."

Those words were like a bucket of cold water, sobering Huo Tingxiao significantly and reminding him not to overinterpret and let his thoughts wander.

"Then, can you also be responsible for me?"

His tone softened, and Mu Lan widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at Huo Tingxiao and getting goosebumps almost instantly.

"I can't."

She yanked her hand back abruptly, not wanting to interact with him anymore. She reached for the divider to pull it down. Her movements were too hasty, and she accidentally caught Huo Tingxiao's hand, causing him to grunt in pain. Mu Lan immediately stopped her movement, the divider stuck halfway.

When she looked up at Mu Lan, his gaze was pitiable, and his tone carried a hint of grievance.

"It hurts."

Mu Lan steeled her heart and, despite feeling slightly softened, she pulled the divider all the way down, turning the space from a double into a single room.
