The two of them kissed for a long time before they reluctantly ended it.
Mu Qing put his forehead against Zhao Anan's and wiped her tears away with his warm fingers. He said in a hoarse and gentle voice,"I wanted to make you happy today, but I made you cry. It's my fault. An 'an, I won't force you. You can marry if you want to, or even if you don't want to. As long as you don't marry someone else, I'll accept anything. "
He loved her enough to the point that he could sacrifice everything, including his dignity.
Zhao Anan leaned into his arms, feeling ashamed for breaking her promise.
If she had known this earlier, she would have rejected Mu Qing directly, so that he would not have any hope and would fall into despair.
She just didn't want Mu Qing to be embarrassed in front of so many people. If she had rejected him, he would be a laughingstock in the future.
