When Xia Zhijin finished speaking, she raised her head. Her gaze was tinged with nervousness, and she looked like she wanted to say something but was too anxious to speak.
Li Yuan understood. It was her insecurity. He simply stretched out his arms and pulled her into his embrace.
"Zhijin, let's bury all the misfortunes of the past deep in our hearts and not let them affect our lives now. We just need to look forward bravely. In the days to come, I'll be by your side..."
Xia Zhijin buried her small head in the warmth of Li Yuan's chest, her voice very low. "Thank you, Li Yuan."
Li Yuan gently stroked her head, inhaling the light scent of her hair as he spoke with deep affection, "Silly girl, meeting a treasure like you—so adorable, beautiful, and gentle—is a blessing of three lifetimes for me."
Xia Zhijin said nothing, simply nestling in Li Yuan's arms and savoring the rare moment of peace.
