"Uh, thank you."
She bowed her head, her soft voice of gratitude like a humble schoolgirl, prompting Xu Yisen to gently reach out and stroke her head.
"You're welcome, silly girl."
His unexpected affectionate gesture made Munni look up at him in surprise.
The bright light spilled into her eyes, making them exceptionally bright, as if they were filled with a sky full of stars, twinkling with countless gleams in an instant.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist wanting to hold you."
Munni slid a hand into her coat pocket, clenching it tightly so that her nails pressed into her palm, sending a faint pain. It was her only way to remind herself to stay rational and not get lost in his gentle trap.
After suppressing the emotions she shouldn't have, she jokingly spoke, "Tsk tsk, only after a divorce did I realize your skills at flirting are so impressive."
