Lin Xiao looked down at Xiao Xiao.
"I'll give you two choices."
"Come with me, or return to Shrek and be abandoned by them again—and killed!"
Lin Xiao looked calmly at Xiao Xiao as he gave her two choices. They seemed like two options, but in truth, there was only one way to survive.
Xiao Xiao bit her lip lightly and looked up at the man before her. Two choices?
But if she returned to Shrek, would he really let her go?
Xiao Xiao wasn't sure. She parted her lips and nodded. "I...I'll go with you!"
It didn't seem like there was anything good waiting for her if she went back. She'd already been abandoned. Could she really return to how things were before?
Would Dean Yan make things difficult for her?
Xiao Xiao was worried about that, too. She was young, but that didn't mean she was ignorant of such things.
Being abandoned had become a source of pain in her heart. She couldn't pretend she didn't resent it—not even a little.
The incident had driven a needle deep into her heart.
She didn't blame Lin Xiao. Not at all. Shrek had started the whole conflict.
From beginning to end, all that had happened was Yan Shaozhe getting slapped. No one else had been hurt.
Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction. To put it plainly, Xiao Xiao was the only decent person at Shrek. Even Zhang Lexuan left him with some reservations...
But even with Xiao Xiao, Lin Xiao wouldn't trust her outright. After all, Shrek had spent some time brainwashing her. It would take time for her to change.
Today's incident had driven a stake into Xiao Xiao's heart, too.
"Um..."
Xiao Xiao bit her lip.
Lin Xiao looked at her. "Whatever it is, just say it."
