The Petty Qin's Mother
"Did he bully you?" Qin Kaize's gaze turned icy.
Ke Zeming instinctively wanted to defend himself, but his self-control kept him from interrupting the couple's conversation.
"Not really bullying," Su Yijia replied. "It's within his duty. I was a bit scared and annoyed when I realized I was being followed but wasn't immediately apprehended. But thinking about it now, they must have been absolutely sure I wouldn't get hurt. I was just worrying unnecessarily." She used her hand to gesture a small amount, appearing somewhat aggrieved, like a naive kitten.
Seeing her in this vulnerable state, even Ke Zeming felt he might have been too harsh on her. Besides, the reason he kept a distance and delayed the arrest was not only to ensure they wouldn't be detected but also due to his suspicion of his best friend's new wife.
He wanted to see if those men would really harm her. He even suspected they might fake injuries to stage a sympathy ploy, making them trust her more.
