Though Xie Ningyuan was grumbling to himself, he wouldn't actually contradict Lu Sangjiu.
Ye Zhiyao's face instantly darkened. She knew full well that Lu Sangjiu was telling the truth... Xie Ningyuan could keep her here with absolute ease.
She'd thought she could use this as an opportunity to negotiate some terms, but she was shut down before she could even start. There was simply no room to refuse.
Lu Sangjiu had little patience for Ye Zhiyao and didn't give her much time to stew in her anger and resentment before impatiently pressing her.
"So, are you going to cooperate with us, or would you rather stay here and play with Xie Ningyuan? Answer quickly, or I'll assume you prefer the latter."
'Who the hell would want to stay here and play with Xie Ningyuan!' Ye Zhiyao seethed, gritting her teeth.
Even if he was strikingly handsome, after witnessing his murderous, demonic appearance last time, she couldn't muster a single thought about Xie Ningyuan that wasn't pure "fear."
