Huang Yi's confession hung in the air, creating a charged atmosphere between them. Hun Yu's mind raced, trying to process her words and the implications they carried.
He had never expected such a bold declaration from her, especially given their current situation.
Taking a moment to collect himself, Hun Yu gently brushed a strand of hair away from Huang Yi's face.
His voice was filled with tenderness as he responded, "Yiyi, you know I love you very much. But we must consider the consequences of our actions."
"I know," she whispered, her voice tinged with a hint of disappointment. "I just... I wanted to show you how much I love you, how much I desire to be with you."
Hun Yu cupped her face in his hands, his gaze filled with both love and restraint. "And I feel the same, Yiyi. I promise you, I will always be by your side, fighting for us."
