Lu Beiyuan felt a glimmer of joy in his heart.
Su Nanxing asking him to come upstairs was undoubtedly a good sign.
But once he went upstairs and entered the room, and both of them were seated, Su Nanxing's first words were, "I didn't expect you to be someone who breaks his promises."
Lu Beiyuan was taken aback.
Su Nanxing continued, "We had an agreement for one year, and I remember you promising me."
Recalling their one-year pact, Lu Beiyuan fell silent for a few seconds.
Su Nanxing went on, "I hope you can keep your word, can you?"
Her tone was that of negotiation, but the frostiness in her eyes clearly told Lu Beiyuan that if he didn't follow through...
He would be out of the picture.
Lu Beiyuan spoke in a heavy voice, "I want to keep my promise, too, but... I'm afraid."
He looked up, regret and guilt flooding his eyes: "Xingxing, I've made many mistakes in the past, and I dare not ask for your forgiveness, but please, at least give me a chance."
