Because she realized that Xu Chen seemed to be genuinely angry.
The gloom and displeasure on his face
did not look faked in the slightest.
In an instant, she bit her lip, her heart faintly bitter.
It seemed that, just like Zhao Luoran, she had played things a little too far.
Xu Chen really, really disliked this sort of thing.
If she kept this up,
Xu Chen might truly become her enemy.
She knew Xu Chen's temperament very well.
He responded to gentleness, not force.
If she continued making trouble like this,
then even if she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy,
Xu Chen probably would not spare her another glance.
At that thought, her eyes reddened.
She felt wronged inside.
Her body had been taken over, and feelings had arisen for no reason at all.
Couldn't he just coax her a little?
Was it really too much for her to act up a little?
Thus, she sniffled. "You're being mean to me."
As she spoke, tears seemed to swirl in her eyes.
They already showed faint signs of falling.
In an instant, she went from being a strong, domineering woman
to seeming like a fragile young woman.
Xu Chen: "..."
Damn, that change had come way too fast.
Had she just noticed the slightest sign that he was angry,
then realized something was wrong and hurriedly started crying?
He did not know.
But with Zhao Yuxian looking like this,
he truly could not stay angry.
Because he really was the sort who responded to gentleness, not force.
He could yell at the domineering Zhao Yuxian a few times without issue.
But now that her tears were about to fall,
he was too embarrassed to keep berating her.
Everyone: "..."
Damn it, were all women such drama queens?
