Chapter 473: Illusion
She never expected that Lu Yi would kneel directly in front of her, so decisively, without any hesitation.
"Lu Yi, what are you doing? Get up quickly, you haven’t committed any terrible crime, why are you suddenly kneeling before me?" Shen Heyu was genuinely startled and tried to help Lu Yi up, but he simply refused to rise.
Kneeling before Shen Heyu, he looked up at her, "Heyu, I stake my life on it, there won’t be a next time for such an incident, can you forgive me, please? I’m kneeling before you; if you don’t forgive me, I won’t get up today."
Hearing his words, Shen Heyu slowly withdrew her hands, her intention to help him up abandoned, and frowned as she gazed at Lu Yi kneeling before her.
He was kneeling to ask for her forgiveness—it felt more like he was forcing her to forgive him.
"Haven’t I told you? This morning’s incident is in the past; I won’t hold it against you, and there’s no need to bring up old matters again. Now come on, get up; you’ve just been in a car accident, you can’t handle such strain."
Considering that he was still a patient, Shen Heyu finally took a deep breath and gave Lu Yi the answer he wanted.
Lu Yi’s eyes brightened as he looked at Shen Heyu, seeking confirmation on a matter repeatedly.
"Did you really forgive me for what I said this morning? You wouldn’t lie to me, right? I tend to take your words at face value."
Shen Heyu nodded solemnly.
