Chapter 294: Don’t Move (2) (1/2)

Chu Lian had already been feeling both ashamed and aggrieved at the same time, a mix of feelings that made her feel like she might implode at any moment. Without her noticing, even her ears had flushed red with embarrassment. However, when she heard his mocking reprimand, she just couldn’t muster up any energy to retort.

That… It’s not like she wanted to step on this trap… It’s not her fault… Okay…

Dejected, Chu Lian defended herself… in her mind.

In actual fact, her external appearance and internal thoughts were completely opposite.

Her head was lowered, her long eyelashes trembling as they covered her eyes like little fans. She looked extremely pitiful, like she was afraid of getting scolded.

However, He Sanlang’s determination to reprimand her hadn’t decreased one bit despite the guilt and self-blame she was demonstrating.

He harrumphed inwardly. This wicked woman was too used to acting pitiful.

Chu Lian snatched the hem of her skirt from his hands and covered up her legs.

“You… How could you do that!”

He Changdi’s gloom and doom hadn’t dissipated at all. His voice turned harder and colder as he disregarded Chu Lian’s retort and warned, “Move your hands away!”

A fire had been stoked in Chu Lian’s heart thanks to this man’s icy, forceful attitude. Her cheeks puffed up and she met his eyes directly in a spurt of courage. “Mister, men and women should keep their distance! I can do it myself.”

After saying so, Chu Lian pulled down her skirt tightly before glaring up at the bearded man, her eyes full of stubborn determination.

He Sanlang was instantly filled with anger.

Heh! Men and women should keep their distance!

She was trying to use that silly rule on her own husband!
