By the time Zhuo Xiangqiao returned to the room, Lin Yue had already taken a bath and was deeply asleep in bed. He looked at her peaceful sleeping face and gently caressed her face, his eyes filled with complex emotions. Just as they had entered the hall, he had distinctly felt Zhuo Xiangnan's gaze on Lin Yue, and despite his best efforts to suppress it, he could still feel the intensity of that gaze.
He lowered his head and clenched his hand tightly, using this gesture to vent his jealousy and anger, and to assert his possession over her, showing that man his dominion over Lin Yue. The hand on her shoulder tightened incessantly—he wished he could meld her into his body so that no one else could touch her.
Feeling suffocated, Lin Yue opened her eyes to see Zhuo Xiangqiao right in front of her.
Realizing she was awake, Zhuo Xiangqiao grabbed Lin Yue's hand and bit down hard, then after grinding his teeth a bit, he let her go.
