Xie Jinbai took a deep breath, forcing down the wicked impulse. He smiled and asked, "Tell me, if I wanted to take you away right now, do you think I could do it?"
Cui Lingyao was horrified. "I am a respectable young woman, you can't..."
"There's nothing I can't do!"
No longer able to restrain himself, Xie Jinbai shot to his feet and strode over to her. He reached out, grabbing her chin and tilting her head up. "Cui Lingyao," he said coldly, "you remember this. There is nothing I cannot do."
They were very close, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at her. His gaze was ruthless, utterly ferocious.
With her chin held fast, Cui Lingyao couldn't even turn her face away. She was so frightened that her breathing grew shallow.
She was terrified.
Xie Jinbai's heart suddenly softened.
"Don't be afraid..."
