Bai Yiyi placed Tongtong on the sofa, then lifted her gaze toward Gu Kai, who was walking over with Ziyi in his arms. His lips curved into a gentle arc, and under the soft indoor lighting, his refined and handsome features exuded an indescribable warmth.
Her chest tightened inexplicably, a surge of sourness welling up inside.
The thought of leaving and not returning wavered because of this man walking toward her.
Without her brain's permission, she heard herself say, "I'll come back before the fifth day."
Hearing her words, Gu Kai, who was still two steps away from the sofa, paused slightly in his stride. A fleeting emotion flashed in his deep eyes—was it surprise, joy, or perhaps satisfaction with her response?
The curve of his lips deepened compared to before, and the smile spread beyond the corners of his mouth, lighting up his handsome features as he replied softly:
"Alright!"
