Ye Qing hid outside the door, listening to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but be astonished. The girl's manner of speaking didn't seem simple-minded but rather as if she had no understanding of worldly affairs at all. She seemed not to know what kidnapping really meant and appeared to have very little experience interacting with others; even her speech sounded naive and laughable.
But each word she spoke was truly what was on her mind, without any guard or deception toward the man. This made it clear that the girl's thoughts were innocent, like a blank sheet of paper, untainted by the complexities of society.
"Stop talking, just sit here. I don't want to harm you, don't make things difficult for me!" the man said in a deep voice.
"Why would you be in difficulty?" Shen Qingyi still didn't understand anything, for she truly didn't grasp what kidnapping meant.
The man ignored her, stood up, and walked to the table to pick up a wooden box.
