?Chapter 455: Chapter 452: A High-Five Oath_1 Chapter 455: Chapter 452: A High-Five Oath_1 Bai Qingyan pressed her lips together without answering. She struggled, but he held her so tightly she stumbled, her heart beating even faster.
“You do have feelings for me. As you said, we each have heavy burdens to bear. The road ahead is fraught with uncertainties, like walking on thin ice. We can’t afford to be distracted or to let our hearts be swayed. I am not asking for anything now, but for the future!”
Xiao Rongyan’s demeanor was both firm and deeply affectionate. It was a clear strategy of retreating to advance, forcefully intending to secure a lifelong commitment.
He quietly watched Bai Qingyan, slowly lowering his head. In a hoarse voice, he asked, “Do you dare?”
Bai Qingyan felt as if her throat was being constricted, unable to make a sound.
In her heart, Bai Qingyan did have feelings for Xiao Rongyan. In her previous life, they were evenly matched rivals. At a critical moment, his men had rescued her from the Jin Army, gifting her a jade cicada to help her escape.
In this life, she felt grateful to Xiao Rongyan for past kindness and admired him. She admired how he, like Empress Ji, had transformed a barren Yan into a powerful Yan Kingdom. She admired his ambition that matched that of the Bai family for unifying the world. She admired his resourcefulness and intelligence.
Such a calm, reserved, and deeply scheming strong man was hard not to be moved by.
