At that moment, Yu Lan's small hand was guided to rest upon the man's warm, smooth chest.
Beneath her palm, his heart was pounding violently. THUMP, THUMP, THUMP.
The force of it sent a gentle vibration through Yu Lan's hand.
Startled, her fingers curled slightly, and she drew in a sharp breath.
Smart as she was, how could Yu Lan not understand what Jun Lin Yuan meant by this?
But she couldn't give him any promises right now. She had already agreed to Huo Zhanting and the others that she would annul her engagement to Jun Lin Yuan.
Yet now, Jun Lin Yuan had once again been injured saving her.
Such a sincere, fervent, and moving affection was laid bare before her.
For a moment, Yu Lan was trapped in a dilemma.
She flexed her hand, trying to pull it free from Jun Lin Yuan's larger one.
"Jun Lin Yuan, don't be like this."
Her attempt to withdraw her hand failed. Instead, the man's arm wrapped around her, pulling her back into his embrace.
"Like what?"
