Bab 209: Confrontation

Jing Tian turned his eyes away. He was only being a gentleman. Gu Yan's clothes became more undone as she wailed on the ground.

Ye Qian tried to pull Gu Yan up but the latter refused to move. She cried and cried. Ye Qian turned to Jing Tian for help. "Master Qi..."

Jing Tian turned his head away from them. His hands were shaking violently under his sleeves, I could see that. I grabbed the bedsheet from the bed and draped it over Gu Yan's body. I grabbed Gu Yan easily up from the ground. Gu Yan was not as heavy as I expected. In other words, Ye Qian was only acting. She could have helped Gu Yan if she wanted to.

"Sister Gu Yan, are you trying to use your tears to force Master Qi against his will? How is that different from our kidnappers back then?" I asked in an even tone, overwhelming Gu Yan's cries. Gu Yan stopped.
