He patiently guided her, then whispered in her ear.
"You said it yourself. I'm surrounded by crises right now, not only Lin Qi and his father but also possibly betrayal from Ben Shaming and Catherine. So I... might suddenly disappear one day and never return. Just like Huangfu Huazhang."
"If this is indeed such a big crisis, then tonight might be our last night... Could you, at least for tonight, let me—finish, okay?"
.
His words startled her. She suddenly opened her eyes wide and stared at him, shock quickly followed by large, rolling tears.
How should she explain that his words out of the blue made her heart—ache so much?
He kissed her again, entwining her tongue, patiently seeking her consent.
"... Promise me, will you?"
Yan Jian suddenly reached out to cover her face.
Oh God, how could she answer this?
If she said no, then what if truly... as he said, he never came back one day and could never appear before her again?
