Seeing her so emotional, I didn't continue but stopped, yet I didn't get up immediately—just held her tightly in my embrace.

This time she did not struggle anymore, just held me like this.

After a long time, Wang Chunli finally spoke up, "Master Xu, I'm sorry, I just can't accept this... My heart is in utter chaos right now. I know this isn't your fault, it was my inability to resist, it's all my fault what happened just now."

"Master Xu, can you give me some more time? Let's just stay like this for now, we can't go further, understand?"

While speaking, she reached out her hand and gently stroked my head, her face filled with guilt.

"Mhm."

I replied, signaling my complete understanding.

Miss Wang and I are different; she loves her husband very much, and it's already quite something that she's come this far with me—to be honest, I can hardly believe this is real even now.
