But with her intelligence, she had already figured it out without him having to say it.
Xiao Shuihan pressed her down to sit on the sofa, his gaze flickering slightly. He straddled her lap, wrapped his arms around her waist, and traced circles on her chest with his chin. He looked up at her, his eyes glistening with tears.
