She was indeed feeling warmer, but these sensations crawling over her body like ants, and the scorching breath sprayed on her ear made her skin crawl, a truly unbearable sensation layer by layer.
"Don't be afraid!" Li Fengnian gently brushed her cheek strands behind her ear, speaking softly.
He held her in his arms, aware of her stiff and trembling body, knowing how terrified she must be at that moment, hence his words.
Yet this unsettling tenderness that could drown a person made He Lingling even more terrified, her trembling intensified.
It was this kind of gentleness that had once confused her, making her believe that this man was a refined and modest gentleman.
