Long Yu was stunned for a few seconds after listening to Yao Ran's words, but he felt no hesitation or fear, only heartache for her. Although she said those words calmly, he could see the hope, fear, and nervousness in her eyes.
His beloved woman... what happened to her in her previous life that turned her into the current her?
Seeing that he was just staring at her, Yao Ran's eyes dimmed. She lowered her eyes, chucked softly, and emotions disappeared from her eyes. When she looked up again, her eyes were as calm as still water.
She smiled slightly at Long Yu and said, "Long Yu, I don't think we are suit–"
Before she finished speaking, Long Yu hugged her and said, "Ran Ran, don't be afraid. From now on, I will protect you and stay by your side. No matter what happens in the future, I will never leave you. You can trust me."
When Yao Ran heard this, her eyes reddened. She felt something was blocking her throat, and she suddenly lost her voice.
