At that moment, her vision darkened as the man leaned down and whispered with a low laugh next to her ear, "Ruo Ling, let's have... a romance."
She shrank her pupils and immediately refused, "No..."
"I didn't ask for your opinion. I'm informing you," the man proclaimed wildly.
"Huangfu Jianchen, what exactly is your purpose?"
"Can't you see? Do you really need me to spell it out? Well, okay," Huangfu Jianchen kissed her forehead tenderly, "I've taken a fancy to you."
Ruo Ling gasped and looked up at him in astonishment, "Aren't you interested in... Mi Yao?"
"That was in the past. Now Mi Yao and I are just friends and family. Did you not see during this cruise party that I didn't raise my board? It's because I was afraid... you might misunderstand."
Ruo Ling's heart was suddenly in turmoil. This feeling was very foreign to her. Her life had always been orderly and under her control, but now it was chaotic, as if she was losing control.
