Shen Yue’s heart trembled at his sudden embrace.
Pressed against his chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat and feeling the cooler-than-normal temperature of his body, she didn’t feel cold at all.
Instead, it made her feel secure, like she had someone to lean on.
After he spoke, it was as if a hot spring had been poured into her heart, its warmth spreading through every fiber of her being.
She felt a warmth and care she had never experienced before.
She slowly reached out her arms and wrapped them around him, returning his embrace.
Huang Ziyue’s tall frame stiffened. This was the first time Shen Yue had ever hugged him back willingly.
Her soft body, the warm touch—it all felt so unreal to him.
It was as if, at this very moment, he finally, truly possessed her.
’She’s finally willing to accept me.’
’She’s finally willing to open her heart and let me in.’
In that instant, his heart felt as if it had been completely filled.
For the first time in his five hundred years of existence, he felt this satisfied and happy.
He held her tightly.
In his arms, Shen Yue felt as if she had finally found a safe harbor. She had been so tired all these years.
So tired that she lived in constant fear, even afraid that someone would come to kill her in her sleep.
But now, she felt she could finally let her guard down.
At least in this man’s arms, her heart was at peace.
Thinking of this, she held onto Huang Ziyue and asked the crucial question:
"If I told you that I was the one who set you up back in Beastification City, that I used certain means to make you sleep with me, would you still believe me?"
’Would he still think I’m the best?’
’Would he still care about me?’
’Would he still stand behind me so firmly?’
Huang Ziyue listened.
He suddenly recalled what happened three months ago. He had been fine in Ancient Dragon Castle when he received an urgent letter from a general in Beastification City, saying there were urgent matters to discuss.
So he had left Ancient Dragon Castle and rushed to Beastification City. But as soon as he arrived, he was suddenly overcome by a wave of passion and went straight into the Isolation Room.
The moment he entered the Isolation Room, he lost control.
Especially when he smelled that irresistible fragrance, he completely forgot where he was, sinking into a desire more intense than any he had ever known.
At the time, he only remembered a soft, warm body suddenly slipping into his arms.
He felt five hundred years of pent-up desire ready to be unleashed upon her in that single moment.
He wanted to possess the person in his arms with fierce abandon.
After it happened, although he couldn’t remember the details, he could never forget the feeling.
Later, when he discovered he had children...
He had thought about it carefully. How could it be such a coincidence that he went to Beastification City, that he was so coincidentally overcome with passion, and that he so coincidentally met a woman in the Isolation Room?
It all felt as if someone had meticulously arranged it from behind the scenes.
As if an omnipotent hand was controlling everything.
He had been suspicious, even investigating it in secret.
But when he found out that the person he had been with that day was Shen Yue, he felt the arrangement was simply too perfect.
So now, when Shen Yue said she was the one who set him up...
In that moment, not only was he not angry, he was secretly delighted and pleasantly surprised.
’So, everything that happened between us wasn’t a mistake. It was intentional on her part, something she wanted.’
That meant their union that day wasn’t some muddle-headed accident, but a perfect, premeditated plan.
His heart leaped with excitement, and he hugged Shen Yue even tighter.
"If you really were the one who set me up, then I hope you’ll set me up some more. In fact, you should plan my entire future into your life."
Hearing this, Shen Yue looked up at him in surprise.
