"Wang Lan, in your heart... am I holding you back?" Jiang Xinyu asked with a smile. Seizing the moment, she grabbed Wang Lan's arm and nestled gently against his shoulder.
Instantly, Wang Lan's body trembled. His mind rapidly tried to recall if he had made some mistake. But if he had, Jiang Xinyu's current dependent and gentle demeanor didn't seem to fit.
"How could that be? You are Jiang Xinyu, the Ice-Snow Queen! You're as intelligent as Ice Snow, as beautiful as an angel, unparalleled in elegance, wise as a crown jewel, and possess a stunning presence that transcends ancient and modern times. Having you is the fortune of three lifetimes. I don't have enough time to cherish you in my hands or keep you in my heart, so how could I possibly feel like you are holding me back?"
Wang Lan lavished these compliments without hesitation, rattling them off in one breath without so much as a pause for air.
