Only when he looked at her did his heart find peace.
She was his sunshine, with her, his world wasn't so dark.
He couldn't help but reach out to touch her face, a doting smile playing on his lips, as his face slowly drew closer and he kissed her lips.
Forehead against hers, his dark eyes gazing into hers, he chuckled hoarsely, "If it wasn't for the fact you haven't eaten yet, I would definitely take you now."
Lin Xinlan blinked, her cheeks turning slightly red.
She was indeed hungry, having not eaten all day, and now that she was awake, her stomach was in knots.
"I'm too tired; today... just let me rest properly," she pleaded softly.
Meaning, even after dinner, he better not touch her.
Rong Shaoze chuckled, pinching her nose as he said benevolently, "Alright, I'll grant your request today, but you won't be so lucky tomorrow night."
He understood that she had learned of his identity today, learned what he did for a living, and she needed some time to accept it.
