บท 33: Chapter 33 That's Enough!_1

"Good girl," Jian Shichu bent down to kiss her, gently caressing her cheeks a few times before pulling her into his embrace and kissing the top of her head, "With me here, everything will get better. I will always protect you!"

His use of "I," not "Master," and the tone of his voice carried a seriousness and tenderness he had never shown before.

Ye Qingci couldn't help but look up at him.

This man, blessed with everything one could desire, had it all.

He disdained lying, so everything he said must be heartfelt.

Having been alone since birth, without even her biological parents, nobody knew how precious and important this promise was to her.

But what exactly did he mean by "always"?

Until the end of life?

Also, hadn't he said that once he grew tired of her, he would let her go?

So did this "always" refer to the day he got tired of her?

Even though their relationship was so frail, Ye Qingci found herself increasingly coveting this warmth.
