The moonlight gently illuminated the couple walking closely together, casting a white and charming glow. The people entangled in the moonlight appeared even more intimate, as if they couldn't get close enough no matter how much they tried.

"Brother Li Yi..." Ni Xuanyi leaned against Li Yi; his warm chest felt so comfortable.

“Mm.” Li Yi nuzzled the hair of Ni Xuanyi in his arms, feeling an unusually sweet sensation. He realized that falling in love was indeed like riding a roller coaster: soaring to great heights one moment and plummeting into depths the next. Yet those blissful moments felt like being transported to仙境 (heavenly realm), no wonder even someone as wise and formidable as Dad or someone as cunning as Li An could become addicted.

“You must be tired, let’s go back to our room for some rest!” Ni Xuanyi thought about how Li Yi had traveled a long distance just for her and that they hadn’t stopped fussing around all night. She worried he might be exhausted.

“Sure, let's return to the room.” Li Yi immediately agreed.

Ni Xuanyi then realized what she said sounded rather ambiguous, almost like an invitation. She walked back with Li Yi in a state of anxiety and her heart raced when Li Yi entered her room without hesitation!

Li Yi turned to look at Ni Xuanyi and smiled, “Xuanxuan, is it okay if I stay here tonight”

Ni Xuanyi was utterly dumbfounded, her face turning crimson all the way to her neck roots. She muttered incoherently, at a loss for words.

Liyi chuckled and stretched out his arm, gently wrapping it around her waist. He lowered his head, looking at her with deep affection, "What's wrong Don't tell me you don't love me anymore"

Ni Xuanyi froze like a stone statue, daring not to move an inch. All she saw was Liyi slowly leaning over, cupping her chin in his hand, "Little fool, look at how scared I've made you! Weren't you supposed to be brave!" He tenderly kissed her lips, caressing them gently and sucking passionately.

That night, Liyi slept in Ni Xuanyi's room, but he did so on the sofa. This location was situated at the golden triangle area; it wasn't an environment familiar to him. Outside there were vigilant guards like Ru Zao, although heavily guarded, Liyi still felt safest watching over Ni Xuanyi as she slept.

Ni Xuanyi lay in bed feeling extremely uneasy. The sofa was quite spacious, but given Liyi's height, it seemed rather narrow and cramped for him. She worried that he wouldn't be comfortable sleeping there and tried to persuade him many times to go back to his own room, yet he refused stubbornly. When she volunteered to sleep on the sofa herself, he wouldn't agree either.

She tossed and turned in bed but couldn't fall asleep, afraid of disturbing Liyi who was resting on the sofa. Ni Xuanyi lay there for a long time unable to sleep, closing her eyes while listening to Liyi's even, deep breaths from the sofa, seeming like he had already drifted off.

After enduring it for a long time, she finally couldn't hold back any longer, rising quietly and walking softly over to his side on the sofa. She looked down at him sleeping peacefully, her heart melting with tenderness. Over all these years knowing Liyi, he rarely showed such an exhausted demeanor in front of her. With most of his face buried in the pillow now, the tranquil and serene expression on his face seemed almost unreal.

As she gazed at Liyi's face, a thought stirred within Ni Xuanyi. She bit down on her lip slightly, bent over, kissed him tenderly on his forehead, then hurried back to her bed as if caught in the act, not noticing the slight upward curve of Liyi’s lips.

Liyi has always been a light sleeper. As soon as Ni Xuanyi got out of bed, he woke up. He originally wanted to wait for her to get close to him and then pull her into his arms, but unexpectedly, the little girl secretly kissed him. To avoid embarrassing her, he had to continue pretending to be asleep.

Liyi doesn't like the Golden Triangle area as it is filled with an intense sense of instability. Since making up with Ni Xuanyi this time, he dislikes such feelings even more. However, whether to stay or leave requires him to consult Ni Xuanyi's opinion.

The next morning, Liyi arranged for someone to purchase several sets of clothes for Ni Xuanyi to change into and brought her out for a walk in the nearby area after breakfast: "Xuanxuan, do you want to stay here for a while or go back immediately"

Recalling last night's harrowing experience, Ni Xuanyi didn't want Liyi to remain in this controversial place. She immediately replied, "Let's return to G City!"

Liyi was delighted and arranged everything here before flying back to G City with Ni Xuanyi. Upon landing, a private car from the Li family came to pick them up. Once inside the car, both Ni Xuanyi and Liyi simultaneously felt relieved in their hearts and clasped each other's hands.

The city was still bustling and vibrant, with many towering buildings standing tall and numerous ambiguous shadows moving about. Liyi and Ni Xuanyi quietly sat in the back seat of the car, holding hands and providing mutual warmth.

In many years to come, they would continue to hold each other's hands through the passage of time, witnessing the changes in the world. This would be their happiest moment in life.

This time, Liyi didn't send Ni Xuanyi to the staff dormitory nor directly take her back to the Li family home. Instead, he consulted Ni Xuanyi's opinion: "I have an apartment near my company. Sometimes when I'm tired and don't want to move around, I stay there for the night. Do you temporarily want to stay in that place or come home with me"

Ni Xuanyi understood Li Yi's meaning. Even though they had expressed their feelings to each other, they hadn't officially become engaged or married yet. There was a process and time needed for that. She used to be able to move into the Li family home without hesitation as Li Yi's friend, but now that things were different between them, especially at this stage, she felt embarrassed to live in the Li residence again.

"I'll stay in an apartment," Ni Xuanyi said bashfully with a smile.

This was exactly what Li Yi wanted. He and Ni Xuanyi had been silently enduring each other for too long. He really wanted to spend some time alone with her, just the two of them. At home, Li An frequently came back, and soon Yan Luoxi and their child would also return. When Li An returned, his friends would come over as well, leaving no private space between him and Ni Xuanyi.

The apartment complex where Li Yi lived was in an exclusive wealthy area with spacious戶型（此處保留原文詞彙，因為“富人區”的公寓戶型在英文中冇有直接對應的翻譯，直譯可能影響理解）and fewer住戶, excellent綠化 (同樣保留原文詞彙) coverage. As soon as Ni Xuanyi got off the car, she smelled the rich fragrance of locust blossoms. Looking up, she saw tiny petals gently falling from above. The flowers seemed to have agreed on blooming simultaneously, their fragrance filling the air.

Seeing a couple with a child in the garden made her suddenly think about when she would have her own three-person family someday.

"What are you thinking" Li Yi came over to greet Ni Xuanyi after getting off the car and taking his laptop bag.

Ni Xuanyi said nothing, but her face turned slightly red. With a glance in front of him, Li Yi understood and bent down to kiss Ni Xuanyi's cheek, "I'll introduce you to Xiaozhan when we take you to see Li An's family someday. He's really cute!"

"Sure! Li An's child must be very pretty," Ni Xuanyi thought about seeing Li An's child and felt particularly excited.oxi, you little brat!" Li An angrily roared without the usual sweet prelude, charging right in."Ah…" Yan Luoxi stifled a cry. The dry and harsh friction caused a fiery pain that made her start crying....
