After a long while.
The smile on his lips deepened, seemingly laughing, but his eyes were brimming with an icy coldness.
He leaned in again, crowding her with his body, and his ice-cold voice suddenly pierced the quiet corridor.
"As long as you know!"
That single, simple sentence once again made Ye Zhichen's heart shudder violently.
It took a good long while.
Her lips slowly curved into a smile, but it was a miserable and forced one.
Then, she nodded and softly "Mhm"ed!
Chi Mu's gaze lingered on the woman's face for a moment. His complexion was slightly pale, his eyes tranquil without any ripples, devoid of surplus emotion.
A single syllable ignited a surge of anger within him, and he shook off her wrist.
"Ye Zhichen, I will never love you in this lifetime. Put away all your thoughts; our marriage was nothing but an accident."
Having said that, he walked towards the door.
Ye Zhichen stood frozen in place as if rooted to the spot, unable to move a single step.
