Hu Ya flinched at her harsh tone, her expression growing even more sorrowful. Her brilliant golden, fox-like eyes welled with shimmering tears as she looked pitifully at Shi Wei. "Su Yu, don't be so harsh. I..."
But that one look made her words die in her throat.
Shi Wei didn't spare her a single glance. His gaze was lowered, a smile playing on his lips as he looked indulgently at the female standing before him. He seemed quite pleased with her display of possessiveness in front of another female.
In other words, her act was completely wasted.
Just then, Jinwei came limping back from the woods.
When Jinwei saw Hu Ya's pitiful state—tears in her eyes, "trembling all over"—he instantly assumed Su Yu had bullied her again while he was away. He flared up at once, shouting, "Su Yu! Are you picking on Ayala again?!"
Upon hearing his voice, Hu Ya's body went rigid. She stared at Shi Wei in disbelief, the aggrieved expression on her face finally crumbling.
'Jinwei isn't dead!'
