"I know, we will always be together from now on," Jiang Yexun said as he saw the sadness on her face. His heart felt as if it had been tightly clenched.
He didn't know why, but even though nothing particularly sorrowful had happened between them, hearing those words from Su Xiaoxiao suddenly filled him with a strange sense of panic and pain. It was as if he had already lost her once before.
"It won't happen! We'll always be together, happily," Jiang Yexun said, holding Su Xiaoxiao's hand firmly, making a serious promise.
"Mm!" Su Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and smiled sweetly, nodding at him. Then, she immediately threw herself into his arms.
The way she snuggled up to him with such longing instantly made Jiang Yexun's breath quicken.
He lowered his head, reaching out to gently lift her chin, wanting to savor the sweet fragrance of her lips.
