"He will keep everything confidential, right?" she quickly added on, not wanting this weakness of her to be discovered.

Yu Zhen cupped her cheeks, catching her by surprise. He leaned close and kissed her upon the forehead.
"I am not going away, Sunshine. Not even if you chase me off."
Li Xueyue felt his lips linger on her head. Not a second later, he rested his forehead against hers, his thumbs stroking her cheeks.
