He unintentionally heard what she said. His heart warmed and stirred, and that warmth spread all across his body.

Bai Yaoyao rarely talked about love in front of him. Her method of expressing was to gaze deeply into his eyes instead of through words.

But at this moment, from her call, he could hear her defending him. It would be lying if he said that this didn’t touch him.

But hearing the sentimental tone of her voice and things like anchor and sense of security, his heart ached for her.

Bai Yaoyao ended her call with Yun Bixue and was about to call Yun Bilu to express her gratitude and chat a little.

But before she could even press the call button, Duan Yanhao entered the room.

Bai Yaoyao raised her head and suspicion flashed across her eyes before they lit up in delight. “You’re early today?”

“Yeah.” Duan Yanhao walked in front of Bai Yaoyao and pulled her into an embrace. He sighed. “I couldn’t wait to see you.”

“You see me every day, even this morning!”

“But I haven’t seen you in six hours.”

Bai Yaoyao couldn’t help the tilt at her lips. “I’m not your doll, so I can’t follow you every day.”

“When you get better, I will bring you along when I go to the presidential palace.”

“Ah, you’re going to bring me there too?” Bai Yaoyao was startled.

Duan Yanhao wanted to knock Bai Yaoyao on the forehead but couldn’t bear to do so. Instead, he ruffled her hair. His stone-cold expression softened as he said gently, “Yaoyao, you don’t have the self-realization of a general. In Country X, you’re a top general who holds significant control over the military. If we were in ancient times, you would be someone who is feared by the emperor.”

Bai Yaoyao’s eyebrows rose, and she smiled. “Then I will have to get more control over the military so that you will fear me too.”

Duan Yanhao stared at this beautiful girl, and his heart skipped a beat. He lowered his head to kiss her and mumbled, “It’s a joke. Since we are a married couple, why is there a need for you to make me fear you. Even if the military is under your control, I would be willing.”

Bai Yaoyao was panting from the kiss. “You would be willing even if I usurped the country? What an obvious sham.”

“Yes, if I didn’t have you, what’s the use of having all this power? I want power because that will allow me to provide the best for you. It is to protect and make you happy, not just because I want to be the president.”

That was what Duan Yanhao felt, so he simply said it. However, it was earth-shaking news for Bai Yaoyao.

She was unable to recover from the impact of that statement for a short time.

But now, she finally understood it—letting something go, specifically power.

Xirong Ziye had also once sacrificed everything to climb the ladder of power, even his own love. During that time, she did not feel strongly for it. All she thought was that men simply loved the feeling of being superior to others.

But Duan Yanhao was different. He loved her first and foremost, and power was secondary to that.

1So this was what true love was. True love could overcome everything.

Hearing that made her very, very happy, which made her take the initiative to kiss Duan Yanhao.

Duan Yanhao’s heart trembled at Bai Yaoyao’s initiative, and he could not control himself. Passion surged as his eyes seemed to turn red.

Duan Yanhao’s initial soft and gentle kiss became a fierce and tempestuous storm, trying to swallow Bai Yaoyao whole.
