Qin Yucen's mind was made up, "Thank you for your persistence on my behalf, but truly, it's no longer necessary."
"This is my own decision, it has nothing to do with you, don't feel pressured." Huo Jingtang's eyes held a captivating ripple.
As they were at a standoff, Xi Yan called. Qin Yucen felt as though she saw a glimmer of hope, but Huo Jingtang was quicker than her. He snatched the phone and answered, "Xi Yan, Cencen is with me, she's safe, you don't need to worry about her."
"Mr. Huo..." Xi Yan was shocked that he had answered Qin Yucen's phone, "May I speak with Cencen for a moment?"
"It seems you don't trust me." Huo Jingtang's lips curled in a self-mocking smile.
"It's what friends should do." Xi Yan stated his position.
Huo Jingtang looked at Qin Yucen, who had anxiety in her eyes, but still didn't hand the phone to her: "I'm more willing than anyone else to ensure her safety. That's all."
