He stood quietly at the foot of the bed, his gaze calm yet carrying a strange emotion.
After a while, Wen Ze slowly got onto the bed from the other side, moved from behind Yan Li to the front, grabbed her waist, and pulled her closer to his arms.
The heat from the hot chest against his back and the warmth on his waist made Yan Li's body freeze for a moment.
By the time she came to her senses, it was too late.
