Capítulo 45: Chapter 45: Attracting Envy

"Yu Longting, listen to me make excuses, no no no, listen to me explain." I repeatedly waved my hands, "What I said was only a stopgap measure to save my life."

Yu Longting's gaze was very light, chewing over those four words, "Stopgap measure."

"Yes, yes, yes, you see, if you are not interested in her, even if you let her go, she can come back on her own." I felt like I was being skinned alive under his gaze, and I swallowed my saliva.

Yu Longting's long brows mischievously arched, "So, you were just talking big."

"Right, right, right, just talking big, talking big, it can't be real." I looked at him with a disgruntled face.

Yu Longting's brow furrowed even tighter, and his eyes were full of terrifying anger.

I thought he was still angry, so I nervously closed my eyes.

Then I felt a coat draped over my shoulders, as if it were Yu Longting's own robe scented with a faint musk.

Something cold touched my swollen cheek from the beating.
