Without time to react, the people below instinctively obeyed, leaving without even daring to glance up.
Once they had departed, Huo Muchen gently massaged Bai Nuanxi's furrowed brow.
"Are you alright?" His eyes were dark and intent as they fixed on her.
Bai Nuanxi blinked in confusion. "Hmm?" She didn't understand why he was asking such a question instead of giving her the kiss she was waiting for. How strange…
"Aren't you… going to kiss me?" Bai Nuanxi tugged on Huo Muchen's collar, pulled herself up, and planted a soft kiss on his lips before collapsing back into his arms with a giggle. "There, I kissed you."
Huo Muchen's heart melted at her adorable antics. He pressed his fingers to his temples and asked, "Did that make you happy?"
"Yes! And it made you happy too," Bai Nuanxi replied with a bright smile, her fingers brushing gently against his cheek. She gave it a playful pinch, her touch delicate and full of affection.
