Xuan Mu closed his eyes, his features tightening with frustration. "Didn't I say not to touch other men? That's what happens when you don't listen to me. You get hurt by them."
Bing Shi's eyes were swollen and red from crying. She fumbled in her purse for a tissue and blew her nose. "Don't try to take advantage of the situation," she said, her voice shaky with emotion. "What were you thinking, trying to kill somebody in broad daylight?"
Opening his eyes, Xuan Mu lifted Bing Shi onto his lap and lifted her chin to look at her. Her eyes were tightly shut, but he coaxed her to meet his gaze. "Bing Shi, look at me," he said, his voice softening.
She slowly opened her eyes and gazed at him. The depths of his dark eyes were intense, like a storm brewing on the horizon.
