Gu Nanyan, with a waiting look in her eyes, heard Lu Beicheng say, "Nanyan, as you know, I can't just trust one side of the story from your dad and my dad." Having said this, Lu Beicheng fell silent.
After a while, he continued, "Give me some time. Let me come to terms with this matter and investigate it."
Gu Nanyan said, "Lu Beicheng, I'll give you the time. I'll wait for you."
Compared to Gu Nanyan, Lu Beicheng faced something far more shocking; after all, his parents were gone, and there was even a case pending against him.
Understanding this, Lu Beicheng caressed her face, only to realize suddenly that he no longer had the ability to make her any promises.
The two embraced. Gu Nanyan said, "Lu Beicheng, no matter what happens, no matter who you are or who I am, I will always be by your side."
That night, Gu Nanyan didn't close her eyes once in Lu Beicheng's arms, and neither did he. They just held each other without a word.
