"Mr. Gu, looks like you're stuck with me for this lifetime. If you regret it now, you're still in time—just step out of the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Ji Wei looked back at him and playfully blinked her eyes.
"No regrets."
Gu Moqian's reply was resolute. Then he leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "I want you in the next lifetime, and the one after that too. All of them, carrying my surname."
Ji Wei stared at him, stunned. The deep, rich timbre of his voice echoed in her ears. The sharp contours of his clean-cut face were as striking as when they first met, a subtle curve lifting the corner of his mouth. Those profound eyes held an ocean of emotion, and within the clarity of his pupils, there was only her. Unique and irreplaceable.
Ji Wei felt her breath hitch momentarily, then her lips curled into a radiant smile.
Fingers tightly entwined, the two walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau together.
