"I don't see that ever happening." Pei Zhi turned his head away from her.
He leaned over and whispered into her ear, "But even if that really happens, I will not let anyone take your place in my heart."
Lin Jiao's heart skipped a beat.
His breath brushed past the skin on her neck, making her feel numb and itchy.

Pei Zhi sucked her earlobe. "I will." A trace of a smile flashed across his eyes. "I'll let you feel it slowly."
"Feel what?"
"My loyalty."
"I want to feel it at all times." Lin Jiao needed him to give her a sense of security.
"Alright."
He held the back of her head with his palm. "Can you tell me what happened now?"
"There are rumors circulating that I'm a girlfriend thrust upon you by your family and that there are no feelings between us."
"What else?"
