Silence.
It was utterly silent in the palace.
Mo Shi was stunned. She never expected Xie Yi to confess under these kinds of circumstances.
The most shocked one was the guide to the Forbidden City. He froze entirely on the site without knowing what to say.
The air in space suddenly froze at that moment. Xie Yi's clasped her hands tightly together, and she could not help but pinch the palm of the other hand.
The pain passed across the palm of her hand.
The sense of pain conveyed to Xie Yi's brain, and her mind instantly became clear.
She should have known that it would end up like this...
She needed to say something further to convince Xie Xuning that she had carefully considered it. It was not said in the heat of the moment.
"Mr. Xie…"
"Dr. Xie…"
They both called out to each other in a polite tone at the same time.
Such a tacit understanding made Xie Yi laugh out loud, "May I speak first?"
