Under his icy gaze, Chi Xingye nervously pursed her lips, "I told the kindly lie to your grandmother because of her health. I didn't really mean to have a child with you..."
The surrounding air instantly froze.
As she continued, Chi Xingye's voice dimmed to a whisper, "Chengyan, I hope you won't take it seriously."
Helian Chengyan forcefully withdrew his hand from hers. With a cold, dominant aura, he stooped over her, smirking, "So what?"
Chi Xingye took a deep breath to muster up her courage and pleaded, "Can you wait until your grandmother recovers to explain our relationship to her properly...?"
"Chi Xingye, did I force you to lie?" Helian Chengyan harshly cut her off. "Did I force you to say, to have my child? You said it yourself, you agreed yourself to your grandmother! What did you promise her you can't keep? Did you just want to deceive our whole family?"
"...?!" Chi Xingye felt suddenly wronged.
Why was he so angry at her?
