Su Ge was startled and looked up, meeting a pair of deep black eyes directly.
Those unwavering eyes stared at her, as if trying to penetrate her own and peer into her heart.
Su Ge jumped in fright, reflexively reaching for the medicine on the ground, and in a panic stuffed all the ingredients, including the carefully prepared medicine, into a large box, frantically searching for a place to hide it.
However, she had only grabbed a few handfuls of medicine when a man's large hand firmly grasped her wrist.
Su Ge was nearly scared to tears, her eyes reddening as she looked at him, "I...I'm not preparing this medicine for you, I won't harm you, it's medicine for myself...you have to believe me...I really didn't..."
Before she could finish, the man's gaze darkened, and he tightened his grip on her wrist, pulling the shivering little woman into his arms.
A hand immediately landed on the back of her head, gently stroking it over and over.
