"Da~rli~ng~!", Hong Ye caught Wu long on the way out of the meeting room a few hours after his conversation with Madam Liang, during which he finished up the rest of reports and gave out instructions.
He chuckled, embracing her, as she fell into his arms.
"Did you solve your problem?", she asked, her eyes turning up to meet his gaze.
"Mm, I'm alright now", he nodded, giving her a kiss on the forehead.
Her smile turned shiny at that answer. It always amazed him how she looked so innocent in these moments, like a normal girl in love.
They turned to take a walk as Butler Bang silently bowed and gave them some privacy.
"Darling, did you teach Sister Yue about empathy and conscience?", she suddenly asked after they walked hand in hand on one of the fortress walls in a peaceful atmosphere.
His eyebrow went up, but there was no shock in his eyes, only confirmation of his earlier suspicions.
