Chen Qianmo strode to Yan Wenshan's side, grabbed his hand, and pushed him aside. Yan Wenshan stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.
Chen Qianmo reached out, pulling Yan Qingruo from the encirclement of Yan Ya and Madam Yan, and drew her into his embrace.
Madam Yan and Yan Ya, stunned by his imposing manner, almost simultaneously took a step back.
Hearing Chen Qianmo's arrival, Old Madam Yan also "awakened" from her faint state.
Chen Qianmo's eyes were cold and sharp. His gaze swept the room, eyeing everyone present. Everyone he looked at instinctively stepped back, as if a thorn was at their back.
In Chen Qianmo's embrace, Yan Qingruo finally felt the world was so warm, and the chill and grievance she had just experienced dissipated into nothingness because she was with him.
