Chapter 837 - Temporary Stay (2) (2/2)

Curtis opened his eyes and looked at her before saying, “What are you thanking me for?”

“Thank you for not killing him. I know that if you wished to kill him, it’d be useless no matter how I threatened you. I knew this from the beginning. The reason I did it was that I wanted to fight for a chance of survival for the little snake. But in the end, it was still up to you to decide to let him off.”

Bai Qingqing looked at Curtis and smiled. “Thank you. You have feelings for him as well, right? I shouldn’t have thought of you in this manner.”

Curtis’s lips curled up coldly, and he said, “Other than fury, I don’t hold any feelings toward him. The only reason I didn’t kill him is that I don’t want you to be sad.”

Bai Qingqing was speechless.

Although Curtis was still very cold, Bai Qingqing felt as if her heart had been soaked in honey.

Since Curtis would let the little snake off so that she wouldn’t be sad even though he had done something so atrocious, then he shouldn’t be too ruthless toward An’an, right?

“Curtis!” Bai Qingqing suddenly called out, her voice filled with vigor, causing Curtis to throw her a strange glance.

“Mm?”

Bai Qingqing wanted to immediately tell him about going to the desert, but when the words reached her mouth, they lingered for a while and were eventually swallowed back.

This mustn’t do. Curtis was still feeling angry now. She wanted to tell him everything, not hiding things from him anymore. However, if she were to say it now, Curtis would feel that she had him under control and would create the opposite effect.

“Ah, it’s nothing.”

Curtis looked at Bai Qingqing, and his heart softened. He reached out to embrace her.

This simple act caused Bai Qingqing to feel relieved. Both her body and heart relaxed.

“Oh right, did you catch up to Jean?” Bai Qingqing asked.

“Mm.”

“What happened, then?” Bai Qingqing asked as she looked at him.
