Xie Jinbai's smile vanished. "I'm sorry. If you don't want me to, I won't guess anymore."
He apologized with striking swiftness.
Cui Lingyao was at a loss for words and fell silent.
"Are you that worried about your Minmin?"
Xie Jinbai squeezed her palm and coaxed, "Don't keep it bottled up. Tell me what's wrong. I can help you shoulder the burden."

Cui Lingyao pushed his face away. "No guessing! Sleep!"
Xie Jinbai clicked his tongue. "Alright, let's sleep."
