Chapter 1095
Zuko’s spirits lifted with just a bit of sunshine, and he let go of his inhibitions, acting childishly. But
before Lina could object, Zuko impatiently wrapped his arms around her slender waist and kissed her
passionately as if he were a wild beast.
Lina melted in his embrace, sumbing to his deep kiss.
When he felt that her resistance was waning, he reluctantly released her, gently tidying her disheveled
hair. He caught a hint of surprise and sweet affection in her eyes.
Feeling a bit weak, Lina allowed Zuko to carry her like a princess as they continued their walk in the
moonlight.
“Zuko.”
“Yes?”
“Can I ask you something?”
Zuko lowered his head, gazing at her, and replied softly, “Ask me anything.”
“Why did you suddenly reveal your true identity to me?”
Zuko paused, his expression bingplex. He didn’t respond immediately.
They arrived at a small, secluded park and sat on a stone bench. He looked at her and spoke softly.
“Would you like to hear my parents’ story?”
Lina smiled curiously and leaned against his shoulder, eager to hear the tale.
“My father also concealed his identity from my mother in the past.
“They met by chance, with my father assuming someone else’s identity. Initially, he believed their
rtionship wouldn’tst, but he became deeply involvedter on.
“However, he had his reservations and only revealed his true identity to my mother when she was in
grave danger.”
Lina’s eyes widened, her breath held in anticipation.
“My mother was hurt in that incident, but thankfully, they reconciled, and my father continues to dote on
her to this day.”
Zuko turned to her, his gaze serious. “Lina, I shared this with you because I don’t want to follow in my
father’s footsteps. When two people are determined to be together, they should be open and honest. I
don’t want you to be hurt in any way.”
“Zuko…”
Zuko locked eyes with her. “I will do everything in my power to protect you.”
“Me too.” Lina smiled. “I will also protect you.”

“I’m serious! Who says only men can protect women?”
“Well… alright.” Zuko’s gaze softened. “If you truly want to protect me, then when your mother scolds
me in the future, you must defend me!”

Lina was taken aback but couldn’t help bursting intoughter.
Under the twinkling fireflies surrounding them like shimmering stars, the two embraced in the Southeast
Aciatic night. Their eyes were illuminated, and their hearts warmed.
Zuko suddenly said, “Lina, for now, please don’t tell your parents about my true identity, okay?”
“Why?” she asked.
“Your mother has always believed I’m the son-inw who married into the family.” He chuckled softly.
“Let me continue to be that for a little while longer! I will reveal the truth to her once she approves and
we sessfully obtain our marriage certificate.”
“But…” Lina hesitated. Wouldn’t this be unfair to him?
However, her parents weren’t the type to cling to social status. Their main criterion for a son-inw was
someone who could be part of the family. If they were to discover Zuko’s true identity, would they
change their minds and refuse to let her marry him?
Lina sighed. It was indeed a dilemma.
Perhaps, as he suggested, she should follow his n and wait until everything was settled. That way,
they wouldn’t have any regrets.
“Okay.” She obediently nestled in his arms. “I’ll trust you.”
Zuko’s heart skipped a beat, and he held her even tighter.
In truth, there was one thing he hadn’t been honest with her about—the existence of Pammy and Gia’s
identities…
But those things no longer mattered. What mattered most was that the person in his arms had no
misunderstandings, anger, orck of understanding toward him.
That was the strength that would propel him forward.
