At the same time, Xiao Wu looked at Ma Hongjun again.
She saw that his face was now full of seriousness.
Xiao Wu believed him when he said he had something very important to do.
Still, she was a little unwilling to give up.

At her words, Ma Hongjun felt a wave of relief.
It was best that Xiao Wu had realized this.
Otherwise, he really would
