"Jingyao!" she urgently lifted her head from his embrace, "How come you are here? By entering like this... can you still get out?"
The man raised an eyebrow, "What do you think?"
Su Zixi was nearly crying out of anxiety, "How could you be so careless? How did they manage to capture you?"
He couldn't help but chuckle, "I personally came to negotiate with Xia Xinyu, but unfortunately the negotiation failed, so they won't let me leave."
"Then why did you come to negotiate personally!" Su Zixi stamped her foot in frustration, "You must know Xia Xinyu's intentions, right? She has gone mad by now, she surely won't let you go!"
He Jingyao was slightly taken aback.
