Chapter 28
"Xu Nuo."
The moment Qin Jinnan said my name—seriously, reverently—countless fragments of light flickered through my mind.
But when I tried to reach for them, they vanished.
My head was still blank.
And yet somehow, I knew—
I am Promise.
Xu Nuo.
The woman who died young. The one who had once been Qin Jinnan's wife.
I lifted my eyes to look at him.
"I... I don't remember anything," I whispered.
"I know." His voice was low and steady as he lowered his forehead to mine.
The elevator dinged softly. We had arrived at the ground floor.
Without a word, Qin Jinnan scooped me into his arms.
As my body lifted from the ground, my instincts took over—I wrapped my arms around his neck.
He didn't look down. He simply said, his voice warm but certain—
"Let's go home."
