In the living room, Mu Qiu set aside her earlier worries, happily grabbing his arm to share the news she had just received.
"The editor invited me to attend the author meet-up on Friday. Many excellent authors will be there to exchange writing experiences. Do you think I can go? Will participating in such an event at this time cause any trouble?"
"It won't."
Cheng Zhirang patiently explained, "You don't need to worry about our relationship affecting your life. You can keep living the way you always have, without needing to make any changes or sacrifices."
"But what if it does cause trouble?"
"That's something I should handle. I'll take care of it."
"So I can go then?"
"Of course you can," he replied gently, holding her face and planting a kiss at the corner of her lips, "If anyone should feel like they're causing trouble, it's me because of my career affecting your interests."
Mu Qiu stood on tiptoe and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, tilting her head up to kiss him.
