Chapter 40 My Answer

"Although you are stubborn, you have strong survival skills. Someone like you is just right for me."

Xia Chuyi took a step back, leaning against the car door, and scrutinized his expression carefully. Although his face remained expressionless, his eyes were filled with certainty.

The air was quiet for a while, and the atmosphere began to shift towards warmth.

"Huo Shiqian," she called him.

"Mmm," Huo Shiqian responded in a low voice.
