"It doesn't matter what anyone on the outside is saying. When the truth comes out, everything will be clear. What I need right now is time, and this news will help me buy some."
She slowly turned her head, her gaze locking directly onto Fei Jin's.
"Don't you see? Every minute is crucial right now. Whether or not Dean Yuan wakes up affects the interests of too many people. Some are just waiting for me to fall, so I can't let them see my hand."
She turned around, her eyes resting on Fei Jin's face as her tone softened.
"Besides, I still have you."
Hearing this, Fei Jin's heart warmed. He walked over in a few steps and gently wrapped his arms around her from behind.
He rested his chin lightly on the crook of her shoulder, feeling the rhythm of her breathing.
"That's right. You have me."
He promised in a low voice, enunciating every word.
"No matter what happens, I'll never leave you."
"Then what's your plan with what you said before, about assigning Yang Meiling a 'helper'?"
