Yue Lin felt a bit defeated inside, but his face remained calm and cold. He spoke in a hoarse voice, "So I want you to stay, don't think about the past anymore... stay by my side."
Shen Tang snapped out of it, extricating herself from his embrace and said apologetically, "Thank you, Captain, for taking care of me these past days, but I'm sorry, I can't..."
"Xun Fu, I'm doing this for your own good, think it through before you answer me,"
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" from outside, as if something heavy had slammed against the wall.
Yue Lin's expression darkened, he let go of Shen Tang and strode towards the floor-to-ceiling window.
Downstairs, the lights were bright and a sizable number of Beastman troops had gathered on the road, causing a commotion. It seemed someone had broken in illegally, and the city guard team was in pursuit.
