After suddenly asking that perplexing question buried in her heart, Yun Shishi was afraid to look at him.

Hua Jin was taken aback, his face losing color in an instant.

The actress was dumbfounded when she saw how his face had turned ugly following her question. She did not know what it was she had said that had hit him in his sore spot.

He raised his head and spoke seriously. "Do you know? I love being with you."

Shock filled the woman's eyes.

"Please don't misunderstand! I didn't mean anything romantic about it! I love being with you because you let me feel… the warmth of a family."
