The lights had just turned on, and in an instant, the streetlight illuminated the man's handsome face. The man furrowed his brows, his pupils filled with worry and concern.
His gaze unconsciously fell on her neck, which was covered with recent marks.
Xia Xiaonuan noticed his gaze and felt immensely embarrassed in that moment.
She instinctively reached out, pulled up the collar of her shirt, and covered her neck.
"I… no… it's nothing..." She stammered quickly, then tried to break free from the man's grip. "Let go of me!"
Liang Shaochen seemed to realize that his grip was inappropriate and awkwardly withdrew his hand.
"Sorry..."
Xia Xiaonuan stepped forward, ready to leave.
Liang Shaochen blocked her again: "You… you… are you going back to the hotel? Let me take you..."
Tears covered the girl's face densely. Liang Shaochen was initially just shocked, but seeing Xia Xiaonuan's resistance made him inexplicably tense, causing him to stutter.
Xia Xiaonuan felt utterly ashamed.
