"I believe in Xiaojun's character," she said. "Since she's your wife, she would never flirt with others. What you said earlier about old lovers... how does that make her feel? Her heartache is because you've wronged her!"
Nie Rujun was moved to tears by her defense, clenching her hand tightly as if clinging to a lifeline.
Lu Fengxuan gently patted Nie Rujun's hand in a soothing manner and then urged Fan Ju:
"Fan Wu, Xiaojun is carrying your child. Why are you still making her so upset? Apologize to her right now."
Fan Ju had already begun to taste regret but couldn't swallow his pride.
With the step down provided by Lu Fengxuan, he grudgingly acquiesced, huffing before speaking slowly:
"I was anxious and spoke without thinking. I was wrong. After we eat, I'll take you home."
Nie Rujun wiped away her tears and stubbornly refused him, "I have class. If you want to go back, go back without me!"
