Before he left, Hai Xiaotang was a freshly blossomed flower, vibrant and dripping with life.
But now, she seemed to him as wilted.
He didn't need to ask to know how much painful ordeal she had gone through during his absence.
Dongfang Yu couldn't even imagine how she survived those days...
Thinking of this, Dongfang Yu's heartache for her only deepened.
Gently touching her face, he apologised, "My dear, I'm sorry, you had to suffer in my absence."
Hai Xiaotang shook her head with a smile, "I didn't suffer. As long as you returned, nothing else mattered!"
Dongfang Yu's eyes trembled, he was so deeply moved that he was at a loss for words.
"Xiaotang, I will never leave you again, never again!" He could only make a solemn promise, "I will always be by your side, never again to cause you sadness or pain."
Hai Xiaotang's eyes were immediately moistened by tears.
"You said it, don't forget!"
