“Brother Fang Tuo, how about we call off our engagement? I’ll make you my sworn older brother instead?”
Yu Yu ventured cautiously.
“You can ask for any compensation you want. I’ll give you anything!”
She had already prepared herself to be pestered, made things difficult for, and talked out of it.
A moment later.
“Sure!”
His thin lips curved into a faint, inscrutable smile, and his voice was low and compliant.
She stared at him, bewildered. She had never met anyone so easy to persuade.
Only later did she realize that behind that docile smile lay layer upon layer of restraint and scheming, every move carefully planned.
He had never agreed to let her go.
He had agreed to what she had said: that she would give him anything as compensation.
She thought she could handle Fang Tuo with ease and seize the chance to get away.
Only after falling deep into his trap did she finally understand!
He wasn’t some gentle, gruff man. He was a wild wolf, lying in wait beneath a false facade, possessive and domineering!
