"If Dingding is scared, hide behind me," Ye Chen said.
Yu Dingding, upon hearing Ye Chen's voice, seemed to be pulled away from her fear and looked back at him, dumbfounded.
"Young Master Ye, I'm scared too, I'll hide behind you," Shu Yani said, seeing that Yu Dingding was just foolishly making eye contact with Ye Chen. She hurriedly hid behind him.
Yu Dingding had been slowly moving towards Ye Chen but stopped in her tracks when she saw Shu Yani had already squeezed in behind him.
Seeing this, Ye Chen decisively pulled Yu Dingding into his arms and whispered, "Don't worry, they would have to step over my dead body to hurt you."
A ripple seemed to traverse Yu Dingding's glistening eyes as she looked at Ye Chen, her expressions mingling confusion and panic.
This reminded Ye Chen of the times when they were inseparable when Yu Dingding would look at him with various flickering emotions.
