In the company, in the marketplace... everyone was afraid of him.
Mu Tianye knew this well, and it was his style of doing things. He wanted everyone to regard him with apprehension and keep their distance.
But she was different.
She was neither his rival, nor his subordinate, nor his enemy.
She was his woman, the person he intended to spend his life with.
He wished for everyone in the world to keep their distance from him, everyone but her.
He liked watching her butter him up, liked to tease her until her little face turned red, liked the sweet peach scent of her, liked the way she laughed carefree like a child...
But he didn't like her crying, her fear, her sadness.
"From now on, I'll never hit you again."
"Then..." Ning Xiaofei leaned in a bit closer, "you're really not mad at me?"
The man nodded.
Although knowing she had dinner with another man made him a bit uncomfortable, considering the gift she gave him, he would let it go.
