Ye Liangyan was startled, her body instinctively contracting, but in her panicked state, she suddenly felt someone grab her wrist. With an effortless pull, she found herself held in a man's embrace.
After snapping back to reality, Ye Liangyan extended her arms and tightly hugged him back.
"Don't be afraid," the man's cool, deep voice sounded in her ear.
Liangyan wrapped her arms around his neck, resting her head against his chest, where she could hear his steady, powerful heartbeat. In that moment, she didn't feel scared at all; the corners of her lips curved up slightly, and her voice carried an involuntary petulance, "You're not angry with me now?"
"..."
The darkness provided a good cover, and the man's silence left her completely unable to guess what he was thinking.
Yet, Liangyan felt an unusually joyous mood, even though they were trapped in an elevator at this very moment, in potential danger at any time.
