Ye Hao's voice became very soft and his tender smile was wiped away from his face.
He shifted and sat 10 centimeters away from He Xiyan. He was so close that he could wrap his arms around her shoulders if he stretched out his hand.
He Xiyan wanted to move away but Ye Hao's arm shot out to grab her hand the moment that she rose to her feet.
"Please don't go, Yan Yan…" Ye Hao said earnestly. "Don't worry, I won't do anything inappropriate," he added softly.
He really wanted her to return to his side but he wanted her to come back to him willingly. He didn't want to force her to return to him.
He Xiyan sighed, turned to Ye Hao and shook her head. "Ye Hao, did you not understand what I just said?"
She had already made it clear to him on more than one occasion.
Ye Hao shook his head. He obviously understood what she was trying to tell him.
