Zhou Hengyang stood in place, a smile gracing his face as the petite figure of the approaching woman captured his attention. He had forgotten all the dissatisfaction or doubts previously, and he had fallen for her completely. As long as she was happy, he was willing to endure any hardship.

Su Wen hesitated three steps away, wary of stepping closer.
"Come here," Zhou Hengyang beckoned, his tone warm. "I'll allow you to hug me for three minutes."
"But... can I?" Su Wen hesitated, fear gripping her. She was afraid that letting her guard down would expose her vulnerabilities, and someone lurking in the shadows might exploit it. She resented Sun Yunyun for attempting to take advantage of Hengyang.
"Even if I die, I won't let Sun Yunyun take advantage of you," she thought determinedly.
"You can hug me."
