"Ye Chen, you're a man. You should take responsibility like one. Do you think I'm a three-year-old? In the dead of night, you snuck into my daughter's room—and this is the second time. Now you tell me nothing happened? Do you take me for a fool?"
"We really didn't do anything. Forget it. I'm done arguing with you. I won't agree to an engagement with Princess Vivi!"
Ye Chen thought Cobra was being unreasonable. He turned to leave, but a fierce gust swept up before him. He had barely leaped into the air when someone grabbed him. It was Bell.
"You think you can just walk away? Is that what taking responsibility means to you?"
With a cold laugh, Bell yanked Ye Chen to the ground. His enormous wings stirred a rush of air, and the moment Ye Chen landed, Bell pinned him down with both talons.

Can he strip naked on her bed?"
Ye Chen had no answer. He knew explaining
