Yaoyao stiffened up and blinked. Only then did she realize that she had hugged his arm while she was busy laughing cheerfully. She quickly released his arm and took a step to the side to distance herself from him.
The look in Beitang You's eyes darkened slightly when he saw this. He felt a little exasperated and disappointed about it.
Zhang Yu coughed lightly and tried speaking in a tone he imagined this Cuihua might sound like. He said to the assassin, "I heard that you were ordered to ambush the Emperor during his journey, but you failed and got captured alive. How could you be so silly and risk your life to help those people?"
The assassin's gaze dimmed when he heard this. "I owe Prince Chen my gratitude. He needed people to work on assassinating the Emperor and I could not refuse. Cuihua, I have let you down. Don't wait for me. You should go on and marry another man." He began sobbing sadly after that.
