Once Tang Ye confirmed that Lin Yourong was not the type to unleash ice spikes at the drop of a hat, he hurried over to check on her, his face full of tenderness. The annoyance Lin Yourong had just started to feel melted away in an instant. She clung to Tang Ye, her face etched with grievance and fear, unable to hold back her tears.
Lu Qingci knew that with Tang Ye present, she was entirely superfluous. She pouted and quietly left the room, allowing Tang Ye and Lin Yourong to spend quality time together.
Tang Ye tried to comfort Lin Yourong and told her not to cry, but the more he tried, the harder she wept—it seemed that the attack by Ye Yingluan had terrified her. Tang Ye couldn't help feeling angry at Ye Yingluan. Even though he had already killed Ye Yingluan, he was still angry that Lin Yourong had been so frightened!
But thinking back to Lin Yourong's sudden change earlier, he wondered if Lin Yourong might not be timid at all—perhaps she was even a cold beauty.
