This feeling of fear is not unfamiliar to Ji Rui.
But in the past, Ji Rui had only experienced this feeling with two people.
These two people, one is his mother, and the other is Baobao.
His mother and Baobao are both his blood relatives, but Le Tong, is nothing at all.
Because she is nothing at all, there seems to be no bond between him and Le Tong. This fragile relationship, which is so easily shattered, makes Ji Rui's fear even more intense than before.
So much so that as soon as he sent the old man away, he needed to come and confirm Le Tong's thoughts.
Le Tong glanced at him silently, then turned back to stir the meat in the pan several more times.
"No!"
Le Tong's answer was, seemingly, both within Ji Rui's expectations and outside of them.
Once, he thought she was a woman full of schemes and vanity, but now, he increasingly discovers that she is completely different from the person he imagined her to be.
