"What are you afraid of?" Lingxiao looked at Xiangning as she bit her lower lip, preventing herself from crying out, but her tears flowed all the more. His heart ached involuntarily, and he reached out to pull her into his arms, gently patting her back to comfort her.
"Be good, don't cry," Lingxiao coaxed softly, "If someone has bullied you, just tell me who they are. Rest assured, I'll pay them back tenfold. If you're worried that my words are false, then I, Lingxiao, swear to the heavens that if any of what I said today is a lie, may the heavens strike me..."
Zuo Xiangning hurriedly placed her hand over his mouth, her voice filled with emotion as she exclaimed, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Rest assured, as long as I live, I will make good on my words," Lingxiao removed her hand and embraced her once more.
"Don't talk about 'death'!" Zuo Xiangning wrapped her arms around his waist.
She had actually thought to herself this morning that marrying Lingxiao wouldn't be too bad.
