Upon spotting Liao Ning unharmed, seated beside Lin Wan and offering her solace, Zhou Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ling!" Liao Ning waved excitedly at Zhou Ling.
Zhou Ling approached with a stern expression, prepared to reprimand Liao Ning. However, before he could utter a word, Liao Ning playfully tugged at a corner of his sleeve, conceding her mistake.
"I know I messed up. I shouldn't have rushed here alone without waiting for you. It won't happen again, I promise!" Liao Ning blinked, casting a coquettish glance at Zhou Ling.
Observing his girlfriend's adorable admission of fault, Zhou Ling found himself unable to lecture her, no matter how much he may have wanted to.
Furrowing his brow, Zhou Ling fell into silence. Eventually, he sighed and spoke in a gentle tone, "You have to be careful. Don't put yourself in such situations again. It worries me, alright?"
Liao Ning nodded eagerly.
