That night, the couple had been at odds for too long.
There had been tears.
Words had been spoken.
In the end, a night of passionate lovemaking shattered the stalemate that had lasted for more than ten days.
It was also on this night that she said the word 'love' for the first time.
Although he had demanded it, Xie Jinbai could faintly sense that the young woman in his arms was by no means indifferent to him.
It might not even be just some shallow affection.
Rather, it was a love that she herself had never, and dared not, confront.
He felt as though a sweet spring was slowly bubbling up in the parched, almost hopeless corner of his heart.
Overjoyed, he also began to meticulously plan his next move, scheming how he could get this young woman to stop running away and frankly face her own feelings.
One can never truly understand another's joy or sorrow, not even with the person sleeping beside you, your most intimate partner.
