"Cough!"
After an unknown amount of time, someone nearby gave a light cough, which startled Long Yue. She quickly pushed Li Qingmu away, but the action was a bit too forceful, causing the other person to let out a muffled groan.
"Ah, my lord, are you... are you okay? Did I hurt you? I didn't mean to, really, I..."
"Cough, cough..."
Duanmu Nan realized he forgot to take something and came back, only to find this young couple being affectionate. He felt conflicted, coughing as he slowly entered.
Long Yue realized her excessive reaction and quickly rose to greet Duanmu Nan respectfully, "Mr. Duanmu."
"Hmm..."
Duanmu Nan responded, his eyes curiously searching Long Yue. Was it an illusion, or did he feel that this woman seemed a bit afraid of him?
"Am I scary?"
Duanmu Nan asked, looking surprised.
Long Yue looked confused, "No, not at all?" But she quickly understood that her respect towards Duanmu Nan made him think she was afraid of him.
