He stopped himself just in time, letting go and leaning down to look at her.
His fingers gently brushed her swollen lips. "I'll let you off the hook for today. Remember what you just said."
Zhu Xiu's restless heart had been calmed by the kiss she had initiated, but the desire in his eyes had not completely faded.
"Okay, you should go back and rest too."
Zhu Xiu looked at her lovely, flushed face, took a deep breath to suppress the impulse in his heart, and stood up straight.
If he stayed any longer, he was afraid his possessiveness would take over and he would whisk her away against her will.
Watching his retreating figure, Bai Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. 'Thank goodness Zhu Xiu isn't angry. I barely passed that test.'
Outside the door, Yan Lie had already paced back and forth countless times.
The moment he saw Zhu Xiu come out, he immediately slipped into Xin Feng's room. He walked over to Bai Wanwan's bedside in a few steps and sat down, his eyes filled with concern.
