Shang Ruyi panicked as soon as she heard these words: "No, I, I didn't mean that."
Whether he is a eunuch or an Imperial Guard is not really important. It's just that Yang Suyi at a glance is a carefree and even, one might say, arrogant and unruly person. With his appearance and demeanor, no one would think he's someone who has long lived under others, let alone someone who would bow and scrape.
However, when she panicked, the smile on Yang Suyi's face grew even broader.
He slowly straightened up, his eyes fixed on Shang Ruyi, stepping towards her one step at a time.
Though he was smiling, the leisurely and teasing look in his eyes was as if a hunter was gazing at prey already caught in his trap.
Amused, yet effortlessly in control.
This look made Shang Ruyi very uncomfortable. She almost instinctively knew she should turn around and leave immediately, far away from this person. Yet, his gaze seemed magical; once he fixed his eyes on someone, there was nowhere to escape.
