"Okay, okay, let's talk serious for a moment. You're going to Wangdong Province soon, and you must be careful. No matter what you do, always prioritize safety..."
During their conversation, Bai Yanran gently leaned into Xu Qianli's embrace, her arm around his neck as she whispered incessantly, instructing him to be mindful of this and that, showing him nothing but concern.
