"If Madam Meng were here to see you using your silver tongue on her guard while the union's logistics are at stake, I am fairly certain she would demand a heavy compensation in the bedchambers tonight."
Shen Yu looked down at her, a thoroughly amused smile playing on his lips.

He paused, his gaze darkening with an exquisite, predatory intent. "Especially if that woman is you, her sworn sister."
Hearing those words drop from his mouth, Li Na's breath caught.
Her eyes widened in genuine shock.
Shen Yu's smile only deepened.
