"I just don't want to talk about my private matters in the presence of someone else." Yu Guang insisted stubbornly and before Lanni could speak, he added, "This is not up for negotiation."

"Is this how you talk to everyone who needs your help?" Yu Guang asked, to which Lanni scoffed.

"Only those who make unreasonable demands." She turned to Lin Jian with a nod to let him know that they should leave.

"Wait. I really need your help. I'll talk." He grabbed her hand so she wouldn't storm off. She pulled her hand out of his and sat back down.
