Chi Xingye pressed her lips together, shook her head slightly, then lowered it again, pressing her face tightly against his solid chest, listening to his strong heartbeat and softly said, "Let me hold you for a while..."
The hint of a whine in her voice made his heart feel as if it was stuffed with cotton, unbelievably soft.
His emotions stirred even more, "...Alright!"
Helian Chengyan lowered his arms, stopping around her waist, and held her tightly in his arms.
Although neither spoke a word, the moment he held her, all the fatigue from a morning of meetings seemed to evaporate away for Helian Chengyan.
Yet, the moment she was in his arms, Chi Xingye felt an indescribable unease in her heart.
How much she wished to be by his side for life, giving him warmth, helping him ease his burdens, bringing him happiness, doing all she could...
But she couldn't...
Chi Xingye felt a bitter pain in her heart.
