Ye Yiheng paused in his movements.
This woman was truly afraid of him.
Did she dislike his closeness to her?
Irritation arose in his heart, along with an uncontrollable sense of defeat.
He quickly stepped two paces away from her, his expression flickering, and then with a smile that was not quite a smile, he said, "Commandery Princess, you'd rather be punished than tell the truth?"
"There really is no truth to tell, Your Highness. Even if Your Highness were to devour me, my words would remain as they were just now."
Leng Yu Yan raised her gaze and met his, mustering the courage to keep calm.
Ye Yiheng smiled, his chest slightly heaving with the motion.
At this moment, he no longer bore the sinister and devouring look but showed a trace of a young boy, causing Leng Yu Yan to falter for a moment.
