Li Yeqi looked at the blisters on the back of her hand and, despite feeling utterly repulsed by her, a trace of guilt still flickered in his eyes, "Why didn't you dodge?"
"If I let go, you'd run away." Gu Mingzhu looked at him pitifully, her eyes as imploring and wretched as could be.

"Gu Mingzhu, I'm warning you for the last time, don't come near Xixi, and don't try to approach me." Having said that, he turned and strode towards the main house.
