“I’ll be your hostage- don’t pick on the girl.” Lin Yi stood up, speaking dully.
Mengyao couldn’t believe her ears! Was the man so unscared of death that he’d stand up for her in a situation like this?
Sure, he was paid, Mengyao understood that- but what worth did money have when put against your life? There wasn’t a single person who didn’t care about their life; it was human nature! As such, Mengyao acknowledged that Lin Yi wasn’t acting on the basis of her father’s money, that there was more to it than that.
In that instant, Mengyao didn’t find Lin Yi to be such an irritating presence anymore. At the very least, the guy was a true man! Mengyao knew with clear certainty that Zhong Pinliang would never be able to take her place the way Lin Yi did right now, too- the guy would probably be more terrified than she was!
_Eh?_ Why was she comparing Zhong Pinliang with Lin Yi? Mengyao pushed the thoughts away- it wasn’t the time to be thinking of useless topics like that.
