Then she could only obey, acting like a puppet and doing as commanded.
Or perhaps struggle to please him, to win his favor, and make him happy, in order to ensure her own safety and that of her family...
Inside Lan Xiu's dark eyes, it was as if an inky flame was burning.
His stare was so heated it made Yuanya want to look away, yet his words made her too scared to move.
She was terrified that if she made the slightest misstep or mishap, it could upset him.
However, contrary to Yuanya's submissive obedience, Lan Xiu felt anything but pleased. He was restless, irritable, frustrated to the point of madness!
Even when her eyes met his, they were filled with nothing but fear and resistance.
What was different this time, however, was that she had suddenly learned to comply, rather than struggling and resisting like she used to.
Lan Xiu began to wonder if something was wrong with him; otherwise, why would he feel annoyed by Yuanya's submissive behavior!
