He thought, would it be better to confess voluntarily and wait for the verdict than to anxiously deny culpability and wait for others to condemn him?
But he couldn't bear it, fearing that stepping out of the car would bring forth a death sentence!
Time slipped from six o'clock to seven, then from seven to eight. Human activity was evident around him, and unless he fled driving the car away, he eventually had to face what was coming.
He steeled his heart!
Gu Shaocheng opened the car door and walked into the courtyard.
--------------------------------
Chenxing had already gotten up. As Gu Shaocheng opened the bedroom door, he saw her sitting drowsily on the bed, looking somewhat foolish, lost in thought.
He walked over.
Hearing his footsteps, she absentmindedly looked up, staring at him in a haze.
"Shaocheng."
She called softly, and the next second, she was pulled into an embrace and lifted into his arms.
"You didn't come home last night."
