Being choked and deprived of oxygen, Pei Xinru stared in shock at Alexander. She struggled to pry open his hand that was on her neck but he was too strong for her.
"B-brother A-Alexander… Ugh..." Pei Xinru tried to say something more than just call Alexander but the latter put more strength in his hand, stopping her from uttering a word.
"Say it again," Alexander ordered but with his cold tone, Pei Xinru couldn't open her mouth. His eyes were flashing with his ire and wished he could rip her mouth.
Fear started to boil inside her stomach as tears fell on her cheeks. She knew that Alexander was a frightening man. More frightening than her father but because she was in love with him, she forgot that fact because of her beliefs and imagination.
With her imagination's help, she thought that with her, Alexander will change like those cold and ruthless male leads in a novel or kdrama. He will end up loving her and opening up to her.
