Huo Zhenyang picked up her pointed chin, a slight, inexplicable smile appearing on his lips, "A Country is indeed significant."
Her almond-shaped eyes suddenly darkened.
"But my life is more important." The man's deep eyes softened as he leaned closer to her.
She didn't understand his meaning, "Your life?"
She felt him lean near her ear, his voice low and resonant, "I've been poisoned with something called 'Little Kitten.'"
Jiayi's face flushed red, her heart beating fiercely in spite of herself, life, she was his life?
The man had already leaned in, his breath hot as he whispered by her earlobe, "Remember the question you asked me on the embassy's rooftop that one time..."
Just then, footsteps approached from afar, and the knock of the maid rang out:
"Miss Chu, I've brought you milk."
Jiayi snapped back to the present, hurriedly raising her voice, "Right, please bring up some supper as well!"
The maid was puzzled, "Supper?"
"Yes, I'm hungry! Thank you for the trouble."
