Gu Nianzhi's pitiful look reflected in Huo Shaoheng's eyes. This was an expression of guilt and basically her admitting not locking the bathroom door. "You really didn't lock the bathroom door?" Huo Shaoheng's voice was getting dangerously low.
Gu Nianzhi originally wanted to argue the front door was closed, then remembered aside from leaving the bathroom door unlocked, she did so with the front door too. She had proceeded to shower without a second thought, perhaps she was too careless... Watching Huo Shaoheng's increasingly serious face, Gu Nianzhi's mind spun as she blinked her doe eyes and suddenly reached out both arms to dive into Huo Shaoheng's embrace. She said softly, "Huo Shao, it was my fault. I won't dare to do it again, please punish meβ¦"
Huo Shaoheng lowered his hands, but didn't hug her back. He replied dryly instead, "Are you admitting fault?"
