At this moment, Ye Mingmei didn't dare to pretend to be asleep anymore. She tugged at the robe wrapped around herself and sat up on the bed.
Her doe-like eyes, filled with apprehension, looked anxiously at Yu Xiuzhun.
"What was that just now?" Ye Mingmei's lips quivered as she stammered out the question.
As soon as her words fell, Yu Xiuzhun reached out and pulled her up from the bed, yanking her into his embrace.
"..."
Ye Mingmei didn't expect him to act so suddenly, and her eyes widened in astonishment.
"When did you wake up?" Yu Xiuzhun's gaze locked onto her frightened eyes. Slowly, he loosened his grip on her. His slender fingers, with clearly defined joints, slid across her cheek as his voice remained indifferent.
"..."
Ye Mingmei dropped her gaze and said nothing.
"You heard everything, didn't you?" Yu Xiuzhun, seeing her like this, could more or less guess the truth.
