Huo Muchen was thoroughly displeased. Even though they were a married couple, it felt as if they were sneaking around like clandestine lovers. It was truly heartbreaking.
"Honey, as your beloved wife, I need you to make a small sacrifice. You wouldn't refuse me, would you?" Bai Nuanxi could clearly see his mood but felt helpless to change it. The only way to cheer him up would be to publicly acknowledge him as her husband. But… was that really a good idea?
Pressing her lips together, she thought of how long she had held back. To go public now? No… she couldn't.
Seeing the firmness in her eyes, Huo Muchen also realized he couldn't back down. Today was supposed to be a simple experience, but it was evident that she wouldn't relent. Any further stalemate would only hurt them both. In a low voice, he conceded, "I'll wait for you… for one year." It was his final compromise.
