An unconscious hint of warmth rose in Momo's eyes, and a gentle softness colored her delicate brows. Even though she couldn't see Ye Zhan right now, just hearing his voice seemed enough to make her heart light up.
"I just finished. Are you spying on me or something?"
Ye Zhan's low chuckle sounded in her ear. "Compared to spying on you, I'd much rather tie you to my side and watch you twenty-four hours a day."
"I'm afraid you'd be sick of me in a few days if you did that."
"How about you try it."
"No."
Momo laughed lightly as she turned him down.
After a moment, Ye Zhan's laughter faded, his voice coming through warm and gentle. "Momo, I have to go back to the Imperial City for a bit. I'll be back tomorrow."
"Okay, go take care of your stuff."
"You sound like you really want me gone. Don't you miss me at all?" Hearing Momo so happily telling him to leave, Ye Zhan's mood darkened.
