Her small fists clenched tightly, her face filled with unabashed joy and anticipation.
"I... can I invite you... to join me?"
She spoke cautiously, as if afraid that this happiness might shatter in the next second.
Seeing her humble yet eager expression, Luo Yan's heart couldn't help but tremble a bit, a faint sense of guilt welling up inside.
"Of course..."
