Yue Yue watched the man closely.
The more she looked at him, the stranger she felt.
She did not know who he was. She did not know why he kept approaching her with such polite words and gentle smiles.
But something deep inside her was screaming.
Stay away.
Even if this man looked calm.
Even if he spoke softly.
Even if he did not show any clear bad intentions.
It did not matter.
She was in a dangerous situation already. She could not afford to make even one wrong step. If this man had bad intentions and was simply very good at hiding them, then staying near him would be the worst mistake.
Her fingers tightened slightly. She made a decision.
Yue Yue gave him a small, polite nod.
"Gentlemen," she said carefully, "I have to leave now."
The man looked at her, still smiling.
"My beast husband must be looking for me," she added.
She said those words on purpose.
She wanted him to know she was not alone.
She wanted him to know she already belonged to someone.
