Xue Ling was currently experiencing a mix of feelings - sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy - all at once, resulting in a discomfort that made her feet refuse to move.
"Xue Ling!" Yu Peng called out to her again.
Nan Feng too gave her a little push from the side, but Xue Ling instead stepped back.
What would change if she went back?
Looking at Yu Peng's face that had lost much weight in a short span of time, Xue Ling was afraid that she might hurt him again, that she might flee again without uttering a single word.
At that moment, Long, Yan, as well as the butler were all looking at Yu Peng intently.
Since Xue Ling didn't approach him, Yu Peng moved towards her and stopped only when he was right in front of her. His gaze was now fixed on her and didn't move an inch.
"What are you doing here?" Xue Ling asked.
Her tone was no longer the casual one of the past, instead, it had softened to a degree that surprised even herself.
