Jian Xi's thoughts were simple: since he had been so honest, she should be honest, too.
That was it.
But she did not know that her honesty was such a shock to Nan Mufeng.
When she spoke, there was not a hint of shyness, just openness and honesty.
Her pupils reflected his face, as if in the whole world, there was only him in her eyes.
Nan Mufeng felt immensely satisfied and reached out to hug her, but then something crossed his mind, and he pulled back.
"I will always be good to you."
"Hmm."
"Even though my work is dangerous, I will take care of myself for you. No matter what, I will come back to you."
"Hmm."
Jian Xi smiled contentedly and looked at him.
Nan Mufeng felt a strong desire stirred by her gaze. Unfortunately, his physical condition did not allow for it! He decided to change the subject: "It's strange, aside from us, there seems to be another group helping the authorities in Country C."
"Really? Government actions, right? Aren't your operations the same?"
