Inside the cave hall, Su Nanzhi stood with her back to Sun Zhe, her pretty face flushed red. Confronted with his question, she was too embarrassed to speak. She set Sun Batian down and suddenly spun around to face him. "What if I am? What if I'm not? Do you really care that much about that?"
Sun Zhe's guilt deepened. He stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Su Nanzhi twisted and struggled. "Let go!"
But Sun Zhe only held her tighter. Looking into her eyes, he said, "Nanzhi, I can't promise I'll only have you, but I can promise to treat you well with my life. I'll cherish and love you forever."
Hearing this, Su Nanzhi stopped struggling. Her tone softened as she gazed at him. "You're the one who said that."
"Yes, I said it."
Su Nanzhi huffed softly and turned her face away, muttering, "Just wait until we get back to Huayang City. I'll deal with you then."
Sun Zhe laughed. "Yes, you must deal with me harshly!"
