Still in the room

"How did the Six tigers trusted you with them for thirteen years exactly?", Xi Yuan questioned, his fingers still running over the 'once-lethal' wound lightly, "Last time I checked, they were ready to rip my throat out just because you'd fainted in an accident caused by my assistant."

"Oh! They'd unleashed hellfire upon the Rong family every time I would be hurt or harmed or ill-treated.", Rong Xinghe giggled, "You can say, I admired their rage just as much as I appreciated their love for me. One could say that the Ripper was, but a product of the six men's temper. My anger comes from them, you know."

"I spoiled the vibe, didn't I?", the man smiled, tucking the girl's freely-falling jet black hair strands behind her ear, "Sorry."

"You'll have plenty of opportunities to make it up to me.", the girl looked into the man's eyes assuringly, "Hold onto that."

"Oh, I will."
