He Ying didn't kiss her for too long before he released her.
It really wasn't the time for intimacy.
He kissed her simply because he didn't want her to say those self-harming words.
"You, you—"
Sang Yan's face flushed, unsure of what to say.
And there were officials nearby!
This lecher acted so wantonly, with no regard for the occasion!
"It's okay, Ah Yan, don't be angry—"
He Ying rubbed her reddened lips, his eyes still holding lingering affection, yet his words had turned cold and firm, "He Hongzhao is full of tricks, ruthless and vicious. If you follow me, I will truly be distracted, so please, be good and wait here for me. I promise you, I won't take any risks, alright?"
Not good.
That's what Sang Yan thought inside, but she sighed on the surface, "Then be careful."
She saw the determination in his eyes and knew his mind was made up, so she didn't want to say anything more to delay him.
"Mhm."
He Ying nodded solemnly.
