Su Qingning's face was deathly pale, and her body trembled. Su Qingfeng's last words had been like a death sentence.
Lin Xiao took her hand. It was ice-cold and quivering. She was clearly terrified.
Without a second thought, Lin Xiao pulled her into his arms and gently stroked her back. "Baby, don't be afraid. The real show is about to begin!"
That single word, "baby," was enough to slowly warm Su Qingning's icy, fearful heart. Her frantic pulse gradually steadied, and she wrapped her arms around him in return.
The crowd was green with envy. That was Jinling City's number one beauty, yet she was letting that filthy beggar hold her like that! He held her so tightly it looked as if he was trying to meld her body into his own.
Lin Xiao noticed everyone staring, but he couldn't care less. In fact, he even leaned in and brazenly kissed her.
Su Qingning blushed shyly while the onlookers nearly went mad with jealousy.
