The girl's wild and daring words momentarily froze him for a few seconds. When he came back to his senses, Jiang Ruan had already grabbed his collar, pressing him onto the soft mattress behind them.
She knelt on him, her pair of brazenly defiant peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with dazzling light, coating his desolate heart with the glow of rebirth.
"Ruanruan." His throat bobbed a few times, his slender, fair hand holding her wrist, exerting no force. His quivering eyelashes lifted, looking at her, "What's wrong with you?"
He was sharp enough to sense that Jiang Ruan's sudden gesture must have been triggered by something.
Jiang Ruan gripped the man's collar, looking at his eyes that were trickling with faint starlight. The world had been cruel to him, merciless, but he remained untainted, growing under the shining sun's radiance.
Becoming the person she cherished.
She bent over and gently dropped a kiss on his lips.
"From now on, I am your lover, and your family."
