He gripped her hands tightly as they danced.. Finally, she couldn’t stand the force anymore as she wrinkled her delicate brows.
“It hurts…” she said softly in protest.
Ye Sijue didn’t reply to her. He was waiting for her to look up at him before he would ease up on the grip.
This was the first ti that Annie felt this side of him and was quite helpless. She finally looked up in resignation, sounding defiant as she said to him, “Ye Sijue, can you be gentler? You’re gripping too tightly. It hurts.”
Ye Sijue’s gaze was deeper than usual as he stared at her. He said in his low voice, “It hurts? Have you ever thought about how I feel?”
She didn’t expect him to say this.
“I…” She hesitated. She wanted to explain, but she didn’t know what to say.
What should she say?
Should she have told him that her fiancé ca to pick her up, so she had to go ho?
She knew that if she had told him that, he would never have let her go.
But she had to go.
Annie looked down. “I’m sorry, I had to go ho at that ti, so… I didn’t have the ti to say goodbye to you.”
Ye Sijue had a scornful smile, and he sounded as though he were interrogating her as he asked, “You had to go ho? Go ho and do what? Get engaged?”
Annie paused for a mont and shook her head.
She wanted to say that it was because Chris’s grandmother was not in good health so she had to go back.
But she didn’t know what he would think about it.
Although it was Chris’s grandmother, because his grandmother who watched over them as she and Chris grew up, she was quite close with his grandmother.
The dance music ended very quickly.
For the first ti, Annie felt as though she were about to suffocate being around Ye Sijue. The way he looked at her was too pressurizing, as if it were going to strangle her.
So when the song ended, she felt like leaving.
But Ye Sijue wasn’t done talking.
Annie frowned, twisting her wrist as she said, “Ye Sijue, let go.”
“I’m not letting go,” Ye Sijue said, looking stern.
Just then, soone ca over with large strides, and in a skillful manner, tried to take Annie away from Ye Sijue.
Ye Sijue’s gaze beca severe as his eyes t with Chris’s eyes and their hands exchanged quick strokes.
Finally, each of them was grabbing onto one of Annie’s hands.
Chris smiled faintly, looked at Annie in a calm and composed manner as he said, “Annie, co over here to .”
Ye Sijue’s eyes narrowed, and he said in a low voice, “Xiaong, co over here to .”
His eyes seed to be begging for her to co back to him.
Annie’s heart stirred. She watched the two in a dilemma. Suddenly, she seed like a lost little lamb.
“You guys… Can you let go first?”
Feeling the glares from other people, she felt embarrassed.
Chris shot Ye Sijue a look.
The two released her at the sa ti.
Ye Sijue looked at Annie with a scorching gaze as he said again, “Co here to . We aren’t done talking.”
On the other hand, Chris was very calm, smiling as he said, “Annie, it’s late
We should go. Grandma is still waiting for us.”
