Capítulo 117: Selfish

Wen Jinkai raised a brow. In a blink of an eye, he grabbed her wrist, preventing her from leaving. "I only wanted to help you—"

"That's the thing, Commander. I never asked for your help."

Wen Jinkai's eyes narrowed at her temper. She loved to throw tantrums. Lucky for her, he was a patient man willing to work things out. He had learned from the unfortunate outcomes of being rough and violent with her. He would never repeat such horrible mistakes ever again. It had already caused a strain between them.

"I think you'd need my help this time, though," he commented when she turned her back to him.

Li Xueyue ignored him and approached Heiyue whilst adjusting the saddle so that he would be more comfortable. Heiyue responded by nudging his head closer to her, hoping to receive a treat for his intelligence. She slightly smiled and caressed his mane, her fingers easily running through his hair.
