About five or six minutes passed before Sun Li reluctantly parted from Luo Xiu. She lowered her head, too shy to look at him, her heart feeling as sweet as honey.
"Xiao Li… you look so beautiful today."
Luo Xiu gazed at her gently and used his thumb to wipe the corner of his mouth. A trace of her lipstick remained on his lips.
Ever since that intimate night at the hotel, Luo Xiu had looked at Sun Li with a feeling he couldn't quite explain. But he was certain it was no longer a simple feeling of friendship.
In the silence, Luo Xiu asked, "What happened with the Sun Family that made you agree to marry Duan Feibai?"
Sun Li kept her head down and said nothing.
Luo Xiu added, "I'll do my best to help."
Sun Li looked up at him, her beautiful eyes trembling slightly. "So you do care about me, right? You don't want me to marry someone else."
"If you don't want to talk, then I'm leaving," Luo Xiu said. "I'll never bother you again."
