"Little Li," Bai Yao said, gazing into the girl's crystal-clear eyes, his tone leaving no room for argument. "I forbid you from facing danger alone, and I certainly forbid you from forgetting your promise to me."
As his words fell, he realized he sounded a bit harsh. He reached out to gently rub her hair. "You know this, Little Li. I care about you deeply."
"I..." Jiang Xinli felt touched but still a little uneasy. "A Yao, does using this potion affect your emotions?"
Bai Yao fell silent for a moment before answering. "...Yes."
"But I'll be fine once the potion wears off," he added, a smirk playing on his lips. "It's just that it might take a while."
"So, come back to my official residence with me, and you can confirm it for yourself, Little Li." He lowered his voice, a hint of seduction lacing his fervent tone. "Besides, I really miss you."
"I can't wait..." His breathing grew heavier, a dark crimson undercurrent surging in his jade-green eyes. "...to have you."
