Elena tried to look relaxed and suppress her true feelings. SDespite her newfound closeness with Yuchen, Elena couldn't tell Yuchen what happened between her and Weiyang.
It's a weakness. She couldn't let anyone find out, including Yuchen.
Yuchen absorbed her nervous energy, his brow furrowing slightly in surprise at her response. He hadn't anticipated her anxiety about meeting his extended family.
"Of course I won't do anything," Yuchen assured her, his chuckle laced with reassurance. "I came with my wife. I have to be on my best behavior," he continued, his eyes softening as he turned to Elena, a warm smile gracing his lips.
Elena fell silent, not because Yuchen had chosen not to do anything, but because of the words he used.
'My wife.' The phrase echoed in her mind, a sentiment that stirred unexpected emotions within her. It made Elena's heart flutter and felt good.
