"Don't be afraid, I'll treat you well," Wang Lu murmured, his face awash with an almost sickly tenderness as he looked at Bai Nuanxi. Yet for Bai Nuanxi, that gentleness was nothing but revolting.
"All this pomp and circumstance, just to bring me here to talk? Isn't this a bit much?" Bai Nuanxi glanced around at her surroundings, avoiding Wang Lu's gaze entirely—truth be told, she couldn't be bothered to look at him.
"Of course not. I went to such lengths so that you'd fall for me, so we could be together properly." Wang Lu smirked, "This wasn't just my idea—many people helped me plan how to make a woman's heart irrevocably devoted to you."
Ordinarily, this would sound absurd, but to her surprise, Bai Nuanxi understood exactly what he meant. Wang Lu's goal was simple: to make Bai Nuanxi yield willingly, sparing himself the embarrassment of keeping an unhappy woman by his side.
