"Wang Yu, it was you who said that you would protect me for a lifetime, and you can't go back on your word, okay? Otherwise, I'll hate you forever," she said.

Wang Yu gave a slight smile, stood up to get a tissue from the living room, and wiped the tears from her cheeks. Then he pulled her head into his chest and gently stroked her ink-black hair.
