The sun transformed the chilly night into a warm day, marking the end of the night's tranquility.
Inside the villa, in the bed, Long Tian woke up, feeling the comforting warmth enveloping his body. He glanced to his side, finding Li Yue'er still wrapped in his arms, already awake. A gentle smile graced his lips as he shifted to face her.
His fingers traced the contours of Li Yue'er's face tenderly. "How are you feeling?" he inquired.
Li Yue'er remained silent, her gaze a mix of emotions.
"Long Tian, I know I might not be your only woman. But I hope, at least, I hold a place in your heart. After all you've done for me, I can't be selfish. I... I just want to continue being with you," she confessed, her voice filled with hope.
Long Tian's expression softened, his fingers gently tousling Li Yue'er's hair. "I will never leave you, and you will always have a place in my heart," he assured her, his tone filled with sincerity.
