Chapter 1156 - 1153: Sorry, I Love You 6

So that’s how it is.

He pressed his palms together and crossed them over his chest, and at that moment, his eyes grew moist again, a truly incomparable reverence: "Thank the heavens! Almighty heavens, it’s always you who can bring the greatest mercy."

At the very least, you have given me the chance to atone.

...

Opening her eyes again, it was already near dusk.

Yan Xixi rubbed her eyes, uncertain whether it was morning or evening. The bed was soft, the quilt was warm, and the room heated thoroughly. The door was closed, leaving her unaware of where she was.

She jumped off the bed, her bare feet touching the floor.

The floor was warm, like spring.

For the past six months, to save money, she traveled to the ends of the earth, mostly avoiding luxurious hotels, and hadn’t experienced the warmth of floor heating for a long time.

A rich fragrance permeated the air.

She opened the door and walked out barefoot.

The dining room was brightly lit.

A few small dishes were already on the table: chilled broccoli salad, creamy potato soup, golden crispy chips. The rich aroma emanated from the kitchen. Soon, a man came out, wearing an apron and carrying a large plate. Upon seeing her, his face lit up with a smile: "Xixi, are you awake? I was just about to call you for dinner..."

In the large plate were freshly roasted lamb chops, with sage, black pepper, and freshly ground sea salt unleashing the intense, aromatic flavor of the fresh lamb.

"Hungry? This is your favorite roast lamb chops... Xixi, come and eat."

She rubbed her eyes again, as if in a dream.

Just like this stranger clad in an apron, at that moment, she suddenly felt bewildered: Who was he? Why was he here? How strange!

"Xixi, come have dinner..."

She looked at him in confusion.

Her life hadn’t seen such warmth in a long time, making her feel quite anxious.

He said amiably, "Silly girl, why are you standing there blankly? Come eat."

She dawdled over, her noon sandwich already fully digested in her dreams, making her very hungry. Without hesitation, she sat down and started devouring the food.

Three lamb chops, a few fried potatoes, high-calorie, high-protein food immediately filled her body with energy.

"Tastes good, right?" he asked excitedly, "Actually, I’m better at cooking steak. Tomorrow at noon I’ll make steak for you..."

She remained silent.

Fresh coffee, perfectly brewed.

After she was full, she pushed the dishes aside and stood up.

The hot coffee had already fully awakened her mind, and she was completely clear-headed.

"Xixi, go rest for a while, I’ll come after tidying up."

She turned silently, went to pick up her backpack, which lay alone on the sofa, and walked straight out with it.

He stepped forward, blocking her path with a smile: "Xixi, take a rest first."

Her voice was extremely calm, even polite: "Mr. Wang, I have some things to do, goodbye."

He held her hand.

She suddenly put the backpack down, and he was startled, but saw her open the backpack and pull out a small box from the bottom, handing it to him: "Returning this to you."

He opened the box, and inside was a diamond ring. That was her engagement ring she brought abroad before going to Harvard, and also the only valuable item she had with her before returning home. After the incident at the airport, she rushed to travel, unable to return the ring, carrying it across the world for half a year.

Until now, it finally returned to its rightful owner.

He gazed at the ring, and she turned to leave.

He grabbed her, his voice hurried: "Xixi..."

She said softly: "All your belongings are in the study’s cabinet, don’t worry, I won’t take anything of yours."

Now that the ring has been returned, do I still have any ties left with you?

She turned again, but he reached out his arm and embraced her, his voice unusually solemn: "Xixi... I love you... I’ve always loved you... I know my mistakes are unforgivable, but please, give me just one more chance... Just this once!"
