Zuko looked at her, smiling all the while. He had listened to every word she said just now, which made his heart bloom with joy, especially when he heard the frequent mention of “my husband”.

However, Lina was startled by his expression. She looked left and right, stood on her tiptoes, and reached out to touch his forehead.
