Gong Che nodded and pointed at the city walls, saying, “It is still early, would you be willing to accompany me for a walk around the city?”


  Gong Yimo paused for a moment. She looked at the city walls of Wan City and smiled. “In this case, this one shall not refuse.”


  She felt like her face was going to go stiff from all the smiling While following Gong Che with his face deep in thought, she secretly thought in her own heart, did he figure her out or not? It’s all her fault for being too anxious. Did she make him suspicious when she took out the dagger so she could take charge of the fleet?

  It wasn’t until the two of them arrived at the city walls did Gong Yimo feel a little more refreshed in the cool summer wind. And at this moment, Gong Che finally spoke.

  “Do you know what I would do if she were here at this moment?”


  His way of speaking changed. The distant politeness from before was dropped. This caused Gong Yimo’s heart to jump.

  “What?”


  Gong Yimo suddenly looked at her. Due to their approach, the people at the city walls have all excused themselves, but the torches illuminating his pupils had a mysterious yet deep feeling.

  “I……would hold her, and never let her go.”


  These words caused Gong Yimo to pause. She did not know how to answer.
