"Don't worry, I'll keep your secret for you, Dad, Grandma, Aunt Jiang, none of them will know, but this has a time limit, if one day I'm not happy anymore… I don't know what I might do…"
That gentle voice was so moving, yet to Kang Jinxian's ears, it was the most terrifying sound in the world.
"Ji Yunya, you... you devil..." she struggled to squeeze these words out from between her teeth.
Yun Ya's eyes suddenly darkened like an abyss, and he suddenly slapped her across the face. The forcefulness of the slap twisted Kang Jinxian's face to one side, her fair cheek instantly swelling.
The girl still had a smile on her lips, tender and bright, her soft, cool hand gently touched her and said with concern, "It hurts, doesn't it?"
Kang Jinxian felt like she had fallen into a bottomless abyss, her heart encircled by a deep fear. Beneath that gentle facade lay a bone-chilling and cruel coldness, like the stark white bones revealed after torture, causing a tingling numbness on the scalp.
