Seeing he didn't speak, she added, "You can have someone monitor me anyway, I just don't want to be locked up by you, not wanting to feel like a criminal, with neither a free heart nor a free body."
Tang Yuchen's profound gaze fixed on her, and he asked with a seductive smile, "Woman, is this your way of compromising with me?"
An Ruo nodded. "I suppose so, you tell me, what exactly will it take for you to give me my freedom."
The man grabbed her chin, drawing close, his hot breath sprayed across her face.
His gaze, burning with intensity, asked abruptly, "Is your period over?"
An Ruo was taken aback, and then she realized he was referring to her menstrual cycle.
She wanted to shake her head, but it had already been over for more than a week; if it weren't over yet, she probably wouldn't even believe it herself. Helplessly, she nodded.
