LUO YAN had heard enough. At first, he had just stayed quiet and listened to the conversation between Shen Ji Yun and the other guy. It was obvious from the start that they knew each other.

But actually seeing Shen Ji Yun's expression grow colder and more closed off the longer he talked to this cousin made something twist in Luo Yan's chest. And a strong, sudden surge of protectiveness rose inside him.
