"No!" Tom told himself, "Protecting the weak, walking steadily, standing upright, and doing things that one can be proud of. Ever since I started taking care of my sister after our foster parents passed away, I've been a man. I don't need to prove myself by conquering a woman."

Feng Hanyun widened her eyes in disbelief at what she heard. She must have thought she had succeeded, but she didn't expect Tom to be so ruthless. Tears welled up in her eyes, her lips trembled uncontrollably, seemingly greatly insulted.
