Yun Chi really wanted to trust Hua Yan, but he dared not do so. Without a word, he held her, hugging her tighter and tighter.
With a silent, deep sigh, Hua Yan mused how this man was always so stubbornly persistent when it came to her, leaving her at a loss about how to deal with him.
She could only pat his back, gently coaxing him, "I promise you, we'll have our wedding, we'll have children, and I will be there to help you raise them. As for our future together, I eagerly look forward to it."
Finally, Yun Chi's expression changed slightly, and he loosened his tight embrace to look down at her, his voice hoarse, "Really?"
"Of course, truly." Hua Yan smiled at him, her eyes brimming with the gentle peace of untroubled times, "A hundred thousand truths."
Yun Chi finally smiled, as if her words had grounded him, and he nodded, "I believe you."
