She walked up to him and looked up at him with a small face.
At the entrance, where the light was dim, her gaze met someone dark-faced, his facial features rigid as if she owed him a great deal of money.
Shen Chi lowered his hands and looked down at her upturned little face.
Because her stature was not as tall as his, she already felt overshadowed in terms of presence.
"This is the second time you've threatened me tonight," Shen Chi closed in on her, cornering her against the wall.
There was no trace of a smile on his face, just coldness and chill, making the air around them suddenly cool.
Xu Chaomu's heart trembled, she had given him a chance to back down, and if he didn't take it, she couldn't be blamed.
"Xu Chaomu, you're just taking advantage of the fact that I like you," Shen Chi spoke with a cold voice, his frigid tone like icicles.
His piercing gaze fixed on her eyes like a hawk's, not allowing her any space to escape.
Xu Chaomu fell silent, biting her lips.
