Li Xianyun withdrew her hand and straightened her petite frame, displaying a posture of anger and a desire to draw a clear line between herself and Yelu Yan.
"My lord, do you despise me now?" Yelu Yan had once said this to her, and she returned the same words to him, adding, "As expected, men do not treasure what they have once they've obtained it."
What was she even getting at?
Yelu Yan couldn't help but laugh in exasperation, "You don't have to tease me with such words. You know why I'm angry, why I spanked you."
Li Xianyun gave him a sideways glance and huffed, turning her gaze away.
Yelu Yan turned her little face back to look at him, "Xianxian, I know you are worried about me, but you also know that what I care about the most is you. You are my Achilles' heel..."
Was he starting to lecture again? When had she never noticed Yelu Yan was so verbose?
"My lord, I understand," Li Xianyun interjected.
