Chapter: 225

Bai Qingyue looked up at him, her breath hitching in her throat. She reached up, her cool hands wrapping around the back of his neck, her fingers tangling deeply into his dark hair.

She pulled him down.

Their lips met in a searing collision of souls.

The kiss was not a frantic, hurried exchange of lust; it was a slow, deliberate, and profoundly expression of devotion. Lin Yuan poured his gratitude, his relief, and his absolute, unshakeable love into her through the connection, deepening the kiss until the outside world completely ceased to exist.

Bai Qingyue melted against him, a soft, musical moan vibrating in the back of her throat. The sound acted as an immediate, explosive catalyst for the suppressed desires burning within Lin Yuan.

He shifted his weight, pressing his body flush against hers, one hand rising to cradle the back of her head with a tenderness that belied the intensity building between them.
