Hearing Shan Xun's words, Jiang Zheyu had to admit he sounded harsh. Incredibly harsh.
However, once she guessed why his tone had turned so sour, she no longer found him all that harsh.
This was precisely the reaction she'd wanted.
If Shan Xun didn't show any emotion, then what was the point of her deliberately ignoring him? It would have been all for nothing.
Besides, his emotional reaction proved he cared about her. It also meant he really did like her; he was just unwilling to admit it and become her Beast Husband.
She was going to stoke his emotions until they reached a breaking point, and then he would agree to become her Beast Husband.
'I'm so wicked,' Jiang Zheyu thought.
'But how am I the wicked one? It's clearly that guy, Shan Xun, who keeps refusing to be my Beast Husband. He's obviously dying for me, yet he still won't agree. Honestly.'
'I'm just helping my Captain Shan see his own heart clearly.'
'Helping him cast everything aside to become my Beast Husband.'
