As she stared at him in shock, her feet instinctively stepped back, but Jun Shengye closed in on her small face as well.
Yan Xinxin's beautiful eyes widened. Her steps quickened and turned a little messy as she backed away, and suddenly her ankle twisted.
"Ah…"
"Careful."
Jun Shengye quickly reached out, wrapped an arm around her waist, and steadied her.
Yan Xinxin jerked her head up.
She saw him looking at her, lips pressed together in a faint smile.
"Selena may be the number one beauty of Charlo Castle, but in my eyes, Little Qianyuan, you're even more beautiful."
"..."
She hadn't expected Jun Shengye to suddenly say something like that, and at such close range.
Yan Xinxin was at a loss for words. She couldn't feel even a trace of joy at being praised; all she felt was the temperature around her dropping…
"Let go of me."
Yan Xinxin hurriedly struggled, while Jun Shengye stayed slow and unhurried.
"You twisted your ankle. Let me take a look."
"No need!"
