Although Ning Xia felt the sharp punch heading towards her face, causing her hair to flutter, she was too late to react, simply standing there foolishly.
And because the attack happened so suddenly, the two men couldn't withdraw their punches in time.
Just as both fists were about to strike her face, the feigning-asleep John Hill shouted a warning. So shocked, Ning Xia's eyes slammed shut and her breathing stalled.
At that critical moment, Ning Xia only felt a strong and sturdy arm wrap around her shoulder, then her entire body was spun around, and in the next second, she found herself in a warm embrace, protected tightly and securely.
Then she heard the sound of fists hitting flesh, accompanied by a muffled grunt near her ear.
Ning Xia looked up in astonishment to see herself held in Bo Siyan's arms, his body shielding her from harm, bearing the full brunt of Kris's punch on his back.
