Liu Yuan froze, seemingly not expecting Lin Qiye to let him go so readily.
Was Lin Qiye afraid of him?
Had he looked especially imposing just now?
At the thought, Liu Yuan unconsciously straightened his back, shot Lin Qiye a glance, snorted coldly, and swaggered out with Han Ruoruo's hand in his.

Li Yifei stepped forward and
