Chapter 22

C22 – I’m Willing

Qi Ning turned to see Pang Yuejuan, fragile and delicate, clutching a brick in her hands, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

“What are you doing here?” Qi Ning asked, his brow furrowed in concern for Pang Yuejuan.

Truth be told, his heart warmed at the sight of her.

Her slender frame and the blush on her cheeks moved him deeply. That she would stand up for him in such a situation touched him profoundly.

​Pei Liang’s eyes brightened when he saw Pang Yuejuan. Shoving Qi Ning aside, he strode toward her.

“You’re quite pretty!” Pei Liang remarked to Pang Yuejuan in a mocking tone. “Spend the night with me, and I’ll spare your lover. What do you say?”

Pang Yuejuan hung her head, murmuring softly, “He’s not my lover.”

Pei Liang burst into laughter. “Then why save him? I’ll be honest with you; even a deity couldn’t save him today.”

He leered at Pang Yuejuan with eyes full of desire.

“No,” Pang Yuejuan replied, her voice resolute and her face etched with determination. “I can’t let him harm you.”

Qi Ning touched Pang Yuejuan’s head with a look of resignation and chuckled, “Do you really think he could hurt me?”

Pang Yuejuan appeared utterly bewildered, rooted to the spot without a single movement.

Qi Ning’s gaze fell upon Pang Yuejuan’s face, a mix of irritation and affection stirring within him.

Pei Liang bellowed, “Today, I’m going to set you straight!”

Unperturbed by Pei Liang’s outburst, Qi Ning turned to Pang Yuejuan and said with a sigh, “It’s okay if you don’t want to leave. Just remember, no matter what happens, stay behind me.”

Pang Yuejuan gave Qi Ning a resolute nod, her face set with determination.
