Ye Wanqiu was also seeing this side of Chen Mo for the first time.
He used to be quite friendly.
How did he change so much after returning from Nanyang?
It's as if he is now draped in a suit of spiked armor.
She tugged at Chen Mo's clothes, as if to suggest he shouldn't scare Consort Yu like that.
Chen Mo patted Ye Wanqiu's hand and, after helping her to sit down nearby, he moved to the bedside and sat down as well. Regardless of whether she wanted him to or not, he took her hand, held it, and gently caressed her arm. In a soft voice, he said:
"Be good. As long as you listen, nothing will happen."
Consort Yu was already frightened by Chen Mo.
His touch felt to Consort Yu as if a centipede was crawling on her arm.
Chen Mo retrieved a piece of jade from his chest, which he had originally intended for Ye Wanqiu, but now he gave it to Consort Yu instead.
