Yun Si turned sharply and found herself staring at a man she didn't recognize.
He was tall and strikingly handsome. But what stole her breath wasn't his appearance—it was the aura around him like a beast barely holding back.
Cold.
Sharp.
Dangerous.
His presence alone seemed to lower the temperature in the hallway. His gaze swept past Yun Si, landing directly on the door with an intensity that made her subconsciously move aside. Upon realizing her actions, she frowned.
"Who are you?" she demanded warily.
The man parted his lips, ready to answer when Tang Xiyu's shattered sobbing echoed from the room. His expression instantly darkened.
Without wasting another breath, he stepped forward, ignoring Yun Si altogether, and knocked firmly on the door. His voice dropped, carrying warmth that contrasted sharply with his terrifying aura.
"Wife," he called softly. "Open the door. It's me, Su Ye."
