The rooftop was quiet, the city lights twinkling like distant stars. Chen Yuxi leaned against the railing, still flushed from the evening's events, while Lin Guo stood close, his presence overwhelming, magnetic, and impossibly possessive.
"You've been on my mind all day," he murmured, dark eyes locking onto hers. "From the moment you walked into the office, to how you handled Yue Xinyan, to how… irresistible you are right now."
Yuxi's breath hitched, heart racing. "Lin Guo… you always say these things…"
"I mean every word," he interrupted, stepping closer, his hand brushing hers. "I've wanted to say it for a long time, but I wanted you to feel it too. Not just hear it. That… you're mine. Only mine."
Her cheeks flamed, pulse thundering. "I… I think I've known that already," she whispered, voice trembling slightly.
Lin Guo smirked, leaning closer, the city breeze playing with her hair. "Good," he said, dark and teasing. "Because I don't share. Not with rivals, not with schemers… and definitely not with anyone else in this world."
Yuxi's chest tightened. Tipsy from emotion, flustered from the intensity, she realized she didn't want to resist him. She never had.
"I… I want to be yours," she admitted softly, eyes searching his. "Completely."
The smirk on his lips softened into a rare, almost tender smile. "Then it's official," he said, thumb brushing her cheek. "You're mine. Forever. And I promise to protect you—always."
Their hands intertwined, the tension finally settling into warmth, electricity, and the thrill of mutual confession. The city lights below blurred into insignificance; the only reality that mattered was them.
Just then, Lin Guo's phone buzzed—a notification about Yue Xinyan being formally exposed in the office. He glanced at it, dark eyes flashing. "She's finally going down. And no one will ever hurt you again."
Yuxi laughed softly, leaning into his chest. "Then… I guess we can finally celebrate?"
"Yes," he murmured, arms tightening possessively around her. "We celebrate… and then we plan a future. Together."
Under the starlit sky, the rooftop became their world—intense, flirty, and entirely theirs. And Chen Yuxi realized fully: with Lin Guo, she was safe, adored, and completely claimed.
