Xiao Lingyu was actually very grateful for Gong Tianhao's kindness.
However, she owed Xiao Tong too much to let him in.
The expose of Little Cattle King meant the danger of her farming space's exposure. When she was afraid, Gong Tianhao gave her comfort and also gave her a sense of security.
She knew that Gong Tianhao was capable of protecting her family. She was relieved and thankful.
Facing his confession, Xiao Lingyu finally gave him a definite answer. "Okay. One day, I'll give you an answer. But for now, Gong Tianhao, I can only say that I'm sorry."
Sorry because she couldn't give him an answer now. Not only because of Xiao Tong, but also their identities. Their children and identities worried Xiao Lingyu.
But when the day came when she really could open her heart to him, she would tell him everything.
Gong Tianhao couldn't hide his excitement. He had finally gotten a little reward for all his hard work. Xiao Lingyu had responded.
