What Shi Nian didn't see, Huangfu Huazhang saw everything. A hint of delight flickered in his blue eyes, then he lowered his head to kiss the back of Shi Nian's hand, speaking softly, "It was my fault just now, I lost my temper without asking questions. Nian, forgive me, forgive my urgency these days in trying to bring comfort."
Shi Nian nodded, "Sir, don't say that."
He raised his blue eyes, shaking his head with a smile, "I'm not wrong; not protecting you is my fault. But no matter whose fault it was, it's already in the past. Let's not mention that night again, nor unrelated people and affairs."
Shi Nian gazed into his blue eyes, feeling they were the ocean, a vortex of storm and waves pulling her in constantly.
She had to take a deep breath to steady her mind, then nodded gently, "Okay."
She thought, the most important thing right now is rescuing Jieyou. In the face of the child's safety, these matters among adults can indeed be temporarily put aside.
