Si Mobai held his breath as his heart began thumping wildly in his chest. He looked expectantly at Feng Tianlan, waiting to hear whatever she was about to say.

Si Mobai's breath hitched, and he balled his hands into a tight fist. With great restraint, he forced down his overwhelming anger, which was about to explode. The last thing he wanted was to scare her again.
