Chapter 308 - GETTING HER FORGIVENESS (2/2)

Luo Ren took a couple of steps forward and stopped when he was about five steps away from Yu Jiao. Then he bowed, his body in an almost perfect 90 degrees.

”I'm sorry for what happened last night. It was my fault for not knocking. Please know that I didn't do it on purpose. I hope that you could find it in your heart to forgive me. I would understand if you can't. After all, I probably caused you a great deal of trauma. I just hope that it wouldn't affect your relationship with Yan Yan.”

Yu Jiao was startled by Luo Ren's solemn apology. She already knew that he would apologize, she just didn't expect that he would do it so sincerely. That he wouldn't even hesitate to give her a formal bow. She would not go far as to say that she was traumatized. She was shocked, yes, embarrassed, rightfully so. But not to the point that she would get nightmares over it.

Looking at him still bowing, she had a feeling that he wouldn't get up unless she forgave him. Since he already apologized, it would be to narrow-minded of her to not forgive him. After all, what he did was not something so heinous.

She took a deep breath and said, ”I-I accept your apology. So, let's just f-forget about it.”

Luo Ren straightened his body. Finally, he breathed out a sigh of relief. But hearing her say that they should forget what happened, he felt like he couldn't. Of course, he wouldn't admit that to Yu Jiao. She just forgave him, he didn't want to get to her bad side again that soon after.

”Should we shake on that?” he said, stretching out his hand to her.

Yu Jiao looked at the other's hand. Before she could think more, she found herself already reaching out to that hand. When their hands touch each other, she felt like the warmth emanating from his hand traveled from his palm straight to her heart. Making her a bit breathless.

Luo Ren felt almost the same. He could feel some calluses on her palm. A sign that she was used to hard work. He didn't think that it was something that a girl should be embarrassed about. No hard work was embarrassing. It made him admire her even more.

This moment ended when someone suddenly cleared his throat.

Both turned their head to the source and saw Luo Jin leaning on his room's opened door. ”If you two are done with whatever 'this' is, could you let me pass?”

The two quickly let go of each other's hand. Then Luo Jin passed by between them and walked towards the stairs. Luo Ren and Yu Jiao looked at each other at the same time.

Then they both burst out laughing.
