She couldn't help but close her eyes and snuggle completely into his embrace.
This feeling was so reassuring that it made her feel like she had finally found a place to belong.
Her throat tightened, and tears welled up silently, carrying with them a long-lost sense of comfort and relief.
Lin Xiao quietly held Ji Ran in his arms.
But what she was really thinking was, "Damn it, what can I do? She's just a pitiful woman too."
Considering that she finally didn't see him as a substitute for Young Master Feng Qi, but saw him as Lin Xiao himself, let's give her some comfort.
