Pei Xingcheng knew he couldn't win an argument with Miss Ghost. If they kept talking about it, she'd just get upset and blame herself, which he hated. So, he gave in with a slow nod. He pulled her into a comforting hug. "You're right," he murmured, kissing her forehead.
Tang Zhixi smiled cheekily. "I am always right."
He chuckled, holding her close. "I'm sorry. I let my fear get the better of me."
"I know," she smiled, looking up at him. "Because you love me, you are bound to get scared, just like I was. But we're here, together now... let's focus on that, okay?"
Pei Xingcheng stared into her beautiful eyes and smiled. "Yes, together. Always and forever, right?"
"Of course!" she giggled, hugging him tighter. But deep down, a worry nagged at her. She'd promised him forever, but could she keep it? Master Zhang was a dangerous man. He seemed ambitious and he promised he would return. She knew that the next they would meet, he wouldn't hold back.
