Damn.
"I am so sorry."
Zhu Ri's voice, laced with innocence, shattered the moment. Her face filled with remorse, and I wondered how long she had been standing there with sleeping Roushi in her arms.
Yichen froze. His entire body, which had been pliant and warm against mine, turned to steel. The desire in his eyes vanished, replaced with rage. He didn't even look at him or me, and just let go.
"I am truly sorry, I heard a loud noise from the room, and decided to come down and check what it was." She tried to defend herself, but I just shook my head.
There was no point apologizing; the deed had already been done.
The abrupt loss of his heat made my skin prickle. Without a single word, he stood up, straightened the collars of his shirt, and walked out of the dining room. His footsteps were heavy and furious as they headed upstairs.
I would definitely not like to know where he was going.
