Shen Heyu indeed felt Pei Yansi's fingers move the next second.
His fingers slowly shifted, caressing under her neck, and after a while, he made a gesture as if he was going to choke her but didn't.
As he did this, he also looked down at her, quietly staring into her eyes, wanting to see what he desired, whether it was fear or something else.
But her gaze was calm, void of anything, like a dead pool; it had been a long time since she had looked at him that way.
His heart skipped a beat as he eyed her delicate, pale neck in his hands, thinking that with just a little effort, he could take away her breath, make her struggle for life in his hands, control her, and make her unable to leave him forever.
Yet, when he felt the beat of her pulse, his heart skipped again and his hand eventually moved to encircle her waist, pulling her into his embrace as he said, "You really leave me no choice."
