Suddenly, Qin Xin was caught off guard by Nalan Ye Jue's heartfelt counter-question.
She pressed her lips together, her eyes reddening, and softly said, "But, I also want to protect you."
Nalan Ye Jue's breathing tightened, and a surge of hot blood rushed through his heart.
As a man, his creed since childhood has been to protect women.
He needs to protect his family, his subordinates, his sister, his wife... but tonight was the first time a woman said she wants to protect him.
This feeling was truly...
A memory for a lifetime.
His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and he once again pulled Qin Xin tightly into his embrace.
Words could no longer express his feelings at this moment. He just wanted to hold her tightly, tighter, to completely merge her with his flesh and blood.
