Deep Affection

[Complete]

Ling Qiao was taken in by He Jinhan when she was three.

The rosy-cheeked little girl toddled after him, lisping, "Dodo, Dodo."

At night, when she fussed instead of sleeping, she wanted him to sing her a lullaby: "The dark sky hangs low..."

He raised her like a precious jewel, giving her whatever she wanted: a mansion, a yacht, and trips halfway around the world to see the northern lights and make wishes.

Spoiled by his affection, Ling Qiao grew ever more willful and audacious. She swore she would drag the aloof, desire-denying Mr. He down from his pedestal.

Mr. He only warned her coldly not to torment him.

After being rejected several times, she finally gave up.

On a snowy night, amid fireworks, she had just accepted someone else's confession.

He Jinhan arrived like a gathering storm.

"Go ahead and torment me. I'd rather you torment me to death than belong to someone else." He looked down at her, and without warning, a tear fell from his left eye.

After more than a decade of relying on each other, through all those long years of dependence, his love for her had taken root in his bones and blood.
