Lin Yebai felt a pang of discomfort and self-reproach as he observed her reaction.
In her dealings with him, she had always shown respect, trust, and dependence, never like this before. But now, as he approached her, he could see in those beautiful eyes a flicker of fear, a hint of evasion, as if one more step would mean harming her.
Recalling how he had brought her here in such an abrasive manner not long ago, he finally stopped in his tracks. "No, it's just that Xiaojin called and said your fake ID and passport will arrive soon. We can go to the waiting area."
"Oh…"
Hearing that, the wariness in her eyes seemed to lessen.
So, she stood up, taking the bottle of water with her, and followed behind him.
Seeing this, Lin Yebai said nothing more and led her towards the departure lounge on the second floor.
