Huo Jingting covered her mouth, preventing her from speaking, and after a soft cough, he calmed himself and responded to the person at the door, "Got it, you can go to sleep now."
The person outside didn't respond again, and soon there were footsteps, which Huo Jingting quietly listened to until they presumably, had left.
He withdrew his hand, and Gu Nanqiao, furious, bit down hard as if she intended to bite off a piece of his flesh.
Huo Jingting pulled his hand back, ignoring his own wound, his cold gaze fixed on her, his voice tinged with frost, "Today I must remove this damn ring from you!"
"Today, I won't let you remove it!"
Both were stubborn, but faced with Huo Jingting's aggressive demeanor, Gu Nanqiao really stood up to him.
She clenched her fingers tightly, unwilling to let go no matter how hard the man tried to pry them open, treating the ring as if it were her life.
