Jiang Xinli fell into a momentary daze. Snapping back to reality, she quickly reached out and covered the man's cold, thin lips. "Ah Ze, I won't allow you to say that."
Tears welled up in her eyes as she choked out, "I want you to swear that you will return safely." Not only did he have to return safely, but all her Beast Husbands had to return safely too!
"Mhm." Sheng Tianze reached out to grasp her slender, fair wrist, gently kissing her palm. Soft barbs lightly brushed against her skin, just like always. Jiang Xinli's hand instinctively twitched back.
Suppressing the pain and reluctance in his heart, Sheng Tianze's deep golden eyes rippled with a brilliant smile. With a resolute gaze, he said, "Alright, I swear I will definitely return safely to Lili's side."
He raised his hand, his fingertips gently wiping away the tears swirling in the corners of the girl's eyes. Looking at her with tender, lingering affection, his voice grew hoarse as he continued, "Lili. I love you."
