Ruan Tang had only spoken two words before her sentence came to an abrupt halt.
Xu Lai couldn't help but ask, "Because of what?"
"Because I want to hold your hand. Is that reason enough?"
"..."
Xu Lai paused for a moment, then smiled radiantly. "It is. It's enough to hold for a lifetime."
Ruan Tang said nothing.
Wasn't the rest of her life already tied to him? How could she ever escape from Xu Lai's grasp?
Despite these thoughts, there wasn't a hint of resentment on her face. On the contrary, she squeezed Xu Lai's hand a little tighter, looking forward to their daughter's upcoming birthday party.
This will be Yiyi's first birthday with both of her parents by her side. She'll be so happy.
Xu Lai seemed to read her mind. "On her birthday," he said confidently, "our little girl will be the brightest star in the entire place."
"...If you can't think of a good compliment, you don't have to say anything."
"HA HA HA."
