When Feng Bailing's arm wrapped around Dugu Wu's waist and her face leaned against Dugu Wu's back, Dugu Wu only felt a wave of warmth behind him.
His spine stiffened, and he instinctively wanted to push away the person behind him.
He did not need anyone's sympathy, it had always been that way since he was young.
Yet, the warmth of that moment was so beautiful that he could not bring himself to push her away.
After hesitating for a moment, Dugu Wu made no other move, simply letting Feng Bailing embrace him.
In that moment, their heartbeats both quickened a few beats.
A warm Emperor's aura surged towards Feng Bailing, but this time Feng Bailing did not rejoice; she felt the sorrow deep in the man's heart, and she only wanted to comfort the lonely and sad man before her.
But how could she console Dugu Wu?
His mother, Lady Dugu, and that medicine, too many uncertainties intertwined together, left Feng Bailing without a method to clear things up.
