Inside the room.
Ze Sheng requested some time alone for the two of them.
Ling Hong stared at him coldly for a moment before leading his men out. He pressed himself against the corner of the wall, ready to prevent any trickery that might lead to the female being taken away.
Only after everyone was gone did Ze Sheng release the female from his embrace. His gaze swept over her rosy, healthy face, a hint of a smile in his eyes.
He then lowered his head to rest his forehead against hers, letting out a soft, smiling sigh. "It seems that man has taken good care of you. I was worried for nothing. Are you used to staying here?" The man's voice deepened. "This is... the first time you've been away from me for so long..."
"I feel a sense of familiarity with this city, and Ling Hong and Chi Li have been very good to me. They've taken great care of me." Wamiya shook her head as she spoke, wrapping her arms around his long neck and snuggling closer. "But I still like Ze Sheng best!"
