Li Lei sat down next to her. "Everyone has their own lives."
He was silent for a while before adding, "No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."
Xia Ling looked down for a long time, then looked at Li Lei a little pleadingly. "Can we return to Headquarters a little later? I… I want to spend more time with him… Maybe… it's the last time…"
Her voice gradually lowered as she controlled her emotions.
Li Lei held onto her. "Okay. But you have to promise me, you will take good care of yourself and the baby in your belly. You are not to leave the bodyguard by even a step, and you are not allowed to go anywhere dangerous, okay?"
Rather than letting her be shackled in guilt for her whole life over Pei Ziheng, it would be better to get it over with once and for all, to let her accompany him on his last journey. Maybe then, she could put it down completely.
"Thank you." Xia Ling said softly.
