"There's nothing..." Shen Heyu tried to cover up but ran out of options, unable to fathom why Pei Yansi could grasp her every move so clearly.
Even her thoughts were often guessed entirely accurately by him.
Pei Yansi stared at her intently for a few seconds, knowing in his heart that she was lying.
But it didn't matter.
He wasn't truly interested in hearing how she cursed him internally.
After applying the ointment to Shen Heyu, he placed the items on the nightstand and turned off the room's light before lying down with her in his arms.
He embraced her in an utterly possessive manner.
"You were frightened today," he cooed in a low voice.
Shen Heyu wasn't quite accustomed to this.
She said nothing.
But her mind uncontrollably flashed back to the last time she had been abducted by Chen Bo, when her life had hung by a thread, just like today.
It was Pei Yansi who had rushed forward, heedless of his own life, to shield her from the knife.
