Ling Li's eyes shimmered with worry as she clung to Four Eyes, her voice a soft whisper filled with anxiety. "Honey, remember your safety is your priority. Use your power if it will save you, and never hesitate. Demonic beasts are called demonic beasts for a reason."
Before Ling Li could continue, Four Eyes silenced her with a tender kiss, drawing her into a protective embrace. Her initial shock quickly dissolved into a serene acceptance as she melted against him, savoring the moment of closeness.
“Don’t worry too much. I will come back for you and the children,” Four Eyes assured, his voice unwavering and full of promise. The firmness in his tone was a stark contrast to the vulnerability he felt inside.
Ling Li’s eyes glistened with unshed tears, her voice trembling with raw emotion as she whispered, “Chu Yan, I love you.”
“Um, I love you too,” Four Eyes replied, holding her close. Their hearts beat in unison, and they drew strength from each other.
