"I only brought it when I came to the Imperial Palace; I usually keep it hidden in my bosom where no one can notice," Xiao Rongyan said, grasping Bai Qingyan's hand and pulling her into his embrace. "The unification of the realm that you've been hoping for is near! In three years... in three years, our family will be together forever, never to be separated again."
Surrounded by the familiar and clear scent emanating from Xiao Rongyan, she raised her hand to wrap around Xiao Rongyan's narrow waist, her entire body seemingly boneless as she leaned against him.
"Hmm, three years isn't short, but thankfully it isn't too long either," she looked up at Xiao Rongyan. "We have a lifetime ahead of us, we can afford to wait!"
Xiao Rongyan raised his hand to tuck Bai Qingyan's dark hair behind her ear, then lowered his head to kiss her.
