Mu Jinyu's heart thumped with trepidation upon hearing Gu Xiyan's questioning, a voice within her chastising the potential mess.
The earlier chase by Gu Xiyan was an account settling for the advantage Mu Jinyu had just taken of her.
Now, it was her reminder that made Gu Xiyan remember her actions from the previous night, beginning to clear the account of Mu Jinyu's impersonation of Soldier King Lin Feng, having deceived her trust and closeness.
Mu Jinyu's heart sank, but her eyes looked tenderly into Gu Xiyan's with a tone filled with sorrow and apology, saying,
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to deceive you. We had just met, and I was already stunned by your beauty, overwhelmed by your grace. I knew that if I didn't seize the moment, I might never get another opportunity to be close to you. Forgive my impersonation, for I didn't want to live a life of regret over a moment's hesitation."
