Yan Beichen was caught off guard for a moment, and being too close to dodge, several needles instantly pricked his face.
He hadn't expected Yun Jiao to be so ruthless. In a bout of rage, he didn't care about the needles in his face and raised his hand to strike Yun Jiao.
Yet, just as his hand was about to touch Yun Jiao's cheek, his fingers suddenly curled, brushing past her cheek.
In that instant, he realized he couldn't bring himself to harm her.
This realization left him momentarily dazed; when did he start to cherish and protect the fairer sex?
At that moment, Yun Jiao swiftly pulled out the hairpin from her head and stabbed it viciously into his hand.
The intense pain from his hand immediately snapped Yan Beichen back to reality. Clearly, he could grab her by the neck, yet for some reason, even though Yun Jiao had hurt him so, he still couldn't bear to harm her in the slightest.
