"You still want to threaten me?" Yu Holea asked with wide eyes.
Qiao Jun realized his mistake immediately.
Threatening Yu Holea was definitely not the right approach, especially when she was already upset with him.
He quickly backtracked, realizing he needed to approach the situation with more care and understanding.
"No, no, that's not what I meant," he said hastily, releasing his grip on her slightly.
"I'm sorry, Holea. I didn't mean to threaten you. I just... I want you to know that I'm here for you, even if you're angry with me."
Yu Holea remained silent, her back still turned towards him.
Qiao Jun could feel the tension in the air, and it made his heart ache.
He didn't want things to end like this, not after they had finally made progress in their relationship.
"Holea, please," he pleaded softly, reaching out to gently touch her shoulder.
