Su Ningyan raised her head, looking at him as she listened to his words.
What a handsome man, yet he seemed to see right through her inner thoughts.
"From now on, An An and you will not have to live the life you used to," he said, teasing her by lightly touching her nose, a hint of indulgence in his action.
Su Ningyan experienced an unexpected sourness in her nose. She clung to his waist tightly, her head buried in his chest as she listened to his heartbeat.
She felt rather surreal, experiencing a strange, yet sweet sensation deep within her heart.
"Uncle, can we truly be together in the future?"
She had finally found the courage to voice this particular question.
His status was well-known, and the gap between them was indeed enormous.
Was she worthy of such an excellent man?
"Silly girl, of course. Remember how you promised me five years ago that you'd willingly stay by my side? Even if you wanted to, you can't back out now."
