Song Lianhe jumped back in fright, nearly hitting the door. Just then, Zhou Cangyan shot out a hand to brace her back, pulling her toward his chest in one fluid motion. Caught completely off guard, Song Lianhe crashed into him.
"Ah, Prince… I'm sorry, I'm so sorry…" Song Lianhe apologized in a flurry.
'Oh, heavens! This is the villain's chest!'
'How many lives do I have to spare?'
'How could I dare to run into him?!'
She tried to struggle free, but Zhou Cangyan showed no sign of letting go. His cool palm remained on her back, pulling her even closer. His voice was cold and raspy. "Weren't you looking for someone to pose as your sweetheart? What do you think of me?"
She had been wondering what was wrong with the villain today, but his words nearly made her die on the spot!
She gaped at him, dumbfounded, her words stumbling out. "Pr-Pr-Prince…"
'Is he kidding me?'
'I could ask anyone, but I'd never dare ask him!'
"Prince, you must be joking. How could I dare!"
"And why not?"
