In that moment, Qi Xiuwei wished the earth would swallow her whole.
Under Mo Lingwei's merciless gaze, the scorching sun beat down on her back, making her burn with agonizing shame.
Shen Ningning never minded her getting close to Mo Lingwei; in fact, she was understanding about it.
But she, on the other hand, had been unable to refuse her grandmother's demands and had to repeatedly ask Shen Ningning to forgive her actions.
Qi Xiuwei was filled with self-reproach.
"I'm sorry, Crown Prince..."
From Mo Lingwei's perspective, Qi Xiuwei's head was bowed, and her entire body trembled slightly as she suppressed her emotions. Her voice was faint, as if choked with a sob.
However, he didn't care if she was about to cry.
Mo Lingwei tossed out a reply, "Go home early."
Without another glance at Qi Xiuwei, he turned and strode toward Shen Ningning.
The little girl was in the courtyard, playing hide-and-seek with the children.
