Huo Jingtang was meticulously strategic, showing her the most tender side of his heart, for he no longer wanted to continue with this unease. She was no longer surrounded by just him but by many other outstanding men, and on top of that, Qin Yucen had been severely hurt by love. What she wanted now was the security provided by her job, and he knew that if he didn't try harder, he would truly lose her. Yet, he didn't want to lose her, he wanted to possess her, to prefix her name with his surname. Perhaps that would grant him some peace of mind.
His affectionate, ink-dark eyes gazed into Qin Yucen's, hoping to melt her with such tenderness. He understood her, thinking that if he could touch her heart in this instant, she too might cast aside all reason. This bet of his, he hoped to win.
Qin Yucen's heart inevitably fluttered at Huo Jingtang's words, joy bubbling up like effervescence. She felt she was beyond reason now.
