Lin Xiao couldn't help but panic. It had been so difficult to make any real progress in his relationship with Su Qingning, and now, he had stupidly caused such a mess. She must hate me to the bone by now.
Her stunningly beautiful face was now covered with a chilling frost and bone-piercing indifference. I should just slap myself.
Reason told him he should get out of her way, but his intuition screamed that if he let her leave today, their relationship would plummet. Trying to mend it later would be nearly impossible. After all, while she seemed delicate, she was uncompromising, especially when it came to matters of the heart.
Lin Xiao blocked Su Qingning's path. He didn't just block her path; he pulled her into a forceful, domineering embrace, holding her as if she would vanish into thin air the moment he let go.
