In any case, you shall have my unconditional obedience.
As long as you're willing, I shall fear no hardships, for I will go through fire and water.
Had it been any other time, Chu Jinnian wouldn't have been this blatant in asking about Zhuang Qingning's feelings for him. However, his recent brush with death made him realize that if you don't express certain things, you may never have the chance to do so.
Some feelings, if not expressed, may also never find the right time or place later on.
Chu Jinnian wore a smile on his lips, his eyes filled with tenderness as he reached out to Zhuang Qingning.
Zhuang Qingning also smiled softly, leaned forward a bit, and placed her hand in Jinnian's palm.
Feeling the soft, white, delicate hand of Zhuang Qingning in his, Chu Jinnian laughed and said, "Fortunately, you arrived just in time; otherwise, I might never have seen you again."
