Qiao Jun chuckled softly, sensing her deliberate shift in the topic but choosing not to press further.
"Alright," he said warmly, lifting the cover of one of the dishes to reveal a beautifully prepared plate of honey-glazed shrimp—her favorite.
"Let’s eat."
Despite the simplicity of the moment, there was an undeniable intimacy in the air.
For the first time in a long while, Yu Holea felt a sliver of peace, her usual guarded demeanor softening under Qiao Jun’s attentive care.
As they reached the end of their meal, Qiao Jun poured them each a glass of wine. He raised his glass, his piercing gaze meeting hers.
"To us," he said, his voice low but resolute. "To new beginnings and better days ahead."
Yu Holea hesitated for a fraction of a second before clinking her glass against his.
"To us," she echoed, her tone carrying a quiet conviction.
They sipped in silence, the rich, velvety taste of the wine lingering on their tongues.
