Xie Xubai had a pair of beautiful eyes, like a serene spring when he looked at someone.
Clean and warm.
Huo Sijiao was unconsciously drawn in, listening to his voice, warm yet tinged with a faint coolness.
"The proposal for a marriage alliance in Haicheng was due to circumstances. But now, I hope you truly wish to marry me." Xie Xubai's lips curled into a smile, "Huo Sijiao, do you have any genuine feelings for me?"
"I..." She did feel a bit of affection for Xie Xubai.
But discussing marriage still felt beyond her reach, though it was also due to circumstances.
"At the Guan Family wedding banquet, we were both drugged. But with my resolve, I wouldn't have let you entangle me like that. If it were Pei Chun, I wouldn't have let her touch a finger of mine, let alone a strand of hair."
But that day.
They were lost in passion.
Though they didn't take the final step, they did everything else couples do.
Xie Xubai moved a little closer, and Huo Sijiao's breath caught.
