"Xingan?"
"Hmm?"
"You are so beautiful."
"Thank you."
"Xingan?"
"Hmm?"
"You are so soft and warm."
"...umm, thank you."
"Xingan?"
"Yes?"
"Do you love me?"
Li Ming's hands, which were busy in separating fruits in different baskets, immediately stopped in their tracks as the question registered in her mind.
She turned to look at the Evernight Lord who was bringing two baskets filled with ripened oranges.
He stopped beside her and crouched down to look at her eyes.
"Do you?"
A soft smile appeared on Li Ming's lips and her eyes started sparkling at his question. The way he was holding his breath and the slight nervousness that only she could notice in his eyes, was too adorable to look at.
She raised her hands to cup the warm but soft cheeks of the Evernight Lord as she asked, "Can you wait a little for my reply?"
