The fat man smirked with satisfaction, his lewd gaze sweeping over Nan Qianyue's body. He rubbed his hands together and walked towards her, saying, "Little sister, don't be afraid. I'm strong enough to make you happy."
Nan Qianyue's eyes darkened slightly. She didn't flinch, but stood there waiting for the fat man to approach.
