I did it on purpose! The words were written in her eyes, and she looked at Su Ronggui with defiance. She even wanted to ask him, ’Do you want to hit me?’
Su Ronggui slowly approached her, step by step, just as she had approached Su Rongxing earlier. The difference was, she never retreated like Su Rongxing did. After a few steps, her nose was almost brushing the fibers of his shirt, her faint breath directly mingling with his.

She was holding her breath! Speaking would let the air out! Ignoring him!
’Never going to back down, huh?’
