Ang took off his military greatcoat since it''d be inconvenient for her to wear it while going out. Looking at the rain outside the


    window, she felt inexplicably annoyed. If only it wasn’t raining


    The two came downstairs to the first floor entrance. Richard opened the umbre and stretched out his hand toward her, but she


    didn’t let him take her by the hand. Instead, she stepped under the umbre.


    The next instant, however, a muscr arm reached out and hooked around her waist imperiously..


    “Don''t do this...” Ang implored instantly.


    Richard turned to look at her, saying. “If you get wet, you''ll have no clothes to change into.”


    Ang felt helpless at once. Indeed, if she got wet in the rain, she’d have a rough time tonight. As such, she had no choice but to


    put up with the arm around her waist and follow him toward the street across from them.


    The restaurant was the only one in town that was still open for business at night. It was located deep in the mountains, where


    resources were limited and the people were hardworking and adorably unsophisticated.


    The instant she stepped into the restaurant, Ang pulled therge hand away from her waist. At this moment, there were


    several tables of customers eating at the restaurant. When a few men saw her, their jaws dropped in astonishment as if they’d


    seen a fairying down to earth.


    Under the incandescent light, Angbed her thick waist-length hair with her fingers, revealing a fair face with delicate and


    charming features. She looked confident and radiantly beautiful in her fashionable pearl-buttoned overcoat, which helped her


    make a stunning appearance like a movie star.


    All the men in the restaurant saw her at first nce, but they didn’t notice the tall figure closing the umbre behind her.. Their


    eyes were fixed on her, with some showing a hint of lewd amusement.


    Just then, the man behind Ang put away his umbre. Putting his arm naturally around her shoulders, he looked tall,


    imposing, and extraordinarily handsome.


    Richard noticed those eyes staring at Ang at a nce. In an instant, he darted his eyes warningly over each of the men who


    were leering at her without restraint.


    Subsequently, these men instantly sensed an overwhelmingly oppressive presence; the man standing behind the prettydy was


    giving off a dangerous aura that struck a chill into the hearts of all of them. As a result, they promptly lowered their heads and


    continued eating.


    Richard led Ang to an empty table, where she sat down while he proceeded to order food. Having always lived high on the


    hog since she was born, she had nevere to such a countryside restaurant before, so she felt especially ill at ease.


    On the other hand, some men couldn’t help but eye her up and down in secret.


    Inadvertently, Ang made eye contact with a bearded man. When she saw the man staring fixedly at her, she hurriedly avoided


    his gaze-she was unused to being stared at like this..


    Just then, Richard returned to his seat with two washed cups in his hands. He picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of tea.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Taking the cup of tea from him, she took a sniff at it and was surprised at how refreshingly fragrant the tea was. Seems like


    there’s an abundance of produce in the mountains.


    Even the ordinary tea smells so intoxicatingly pleasant. She was freezing all over, so it made her feel really warm to have a drink


    of hot tea. She couldn’t help but hold the teacup in both hands and finish the tea in sips while it was still hot.


    The man across from her gazed at her intently as the fathomless eyes under his thick eyshes reflected how adorable she


    looked while drinking tea.
