His breathing grew heavy. He took a deep breath and said, "Your brother asked me to look after you, so I have the right. Regardless of our relationship, I still have that right. Do you understand now?"
"Oh, so it's because of my brother that you feel obligated to look after me? Well, that simplifies things."
Because of her brother, huh? Fine. That makes things even simpler.
Seeing her persistent indifference, Xiao Linye's breathing grew even heavier.
"Can you let go of me now?" Ye Yuning asked, her voice subdued.
By now, her face was flushed red. It was obvious Xiao Linye had unconsciously gripped her too tightly, hurting her.
Rage still simmered in Xiao Linye's heart, but he released his grip on Ye Yuning.
