Chapter 92: I'll stay by your side

"I'll stay by your side, Jianyi… forever." Song Chengfeng whispered, his voice unwavering as he declared his intent. His eyes pleaded with hers, silently asking for the chance to remain in her life, no matter the obstacles.

Qi Jianyi sighed, her heart heavy with the weight of his words. "I've told you so much, and yet all you can think about is staying by my side?" she teased lightly, forcing a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.

Song Chengfeng saw through her attempt to mask her emotions. Loosening his hold slightly, he cupped her cheeks with both hands, his thumbs brushing gently against her skin. Her small pout didn't deter him, and his gaze softened.

"You're my Qi Jianyi," he said firmly, his voice rich with emotion. "The one I know and love. No matter who you are or where you come from, my feelings won't change." He leaned down and placed a soft, lingering kiss on her forehead, catching her completely off guard.
