"Actually, we just want to live peacefully and don't want to offend any of you. Why won't you let me go?"

Ma Biao was dumbfounded. "I... I didn't tease you..."

Wen Shu had initially thought he was teasing her, but he was clearly making a very sincere confession.

Wen Shu kept a straight face and continued, "I thought we were really friends, but I didn't expect that in Mr. Ma's heart, he still sees me this way. I'm the one who's unworthy of Mr. Ma and Miss Ma..."

Ma Biao suddenly felt like he couldn't explain himself. What was going on?

What did he say? He didn't say anything. Why are you putting a label on him?

"No, I didn't mean that. I just... never mind, can you pretend I didn't say anything? I was just joking, trying to scare you!"

Wen Shu stopped abruptly and turned to look at him.

At this moment, Ma Biao noticed that Wen Shu's eyes were a little red. His heart tightened. "Don't cry! I... I was just joking!"

Wen Shu reached out and wiped her face. "Master Ma, if you really consider me a friend, please refrain from making these kinds of jokes in the future. I'm easily frightened and can't take your threats."

Ma Biao nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I understand, I'll remember it, I promise I won't let you down again!"

Wen Shu then relaxed her expression.

She turned her face away and, where Ma Biao couldn't see, slightly narrowed her eyes.

She certainly couldn't afford to offend Ma Biao, nor could she bear the consequences of angering him.

She guessed that Ma Biao might actually have some feelings for her, so she took advantage of this little bit of Ma Biao's thoughts to force him to take back his words!
