As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Erya stood on her tiptoes and kissed him.
Wu Liangchen soon felt the girl in his arms grow feverish. Then he heard Erya whisper breathlessly in his ear.
"Brother Xiaowu, take me!"
To be honest, Wu Liangchen was truly tempted when he heard those words.
After all, few men could withstand such a temptation.
But he managed to restrain himself.
The girl's father was in the very next room. No matter how much of a scoundrel he might be, he couldn't bring himself to do something like that.
He forced himself to calm down and whispered, "Erya, I know how you feel, but I can't do that. It would be unfair to you. Wait for me to return. When I do, I'll marry you with all the proper ceremonies. Alright?"
Bai Erya looked at Wu Liangchen, her eyes brimming with tears. She nodded firmly. "Alright!"
Just then, the sound of Old Man Bai's cough came from outside the door.
"Erya, are the dumplings ready yet?"
