"Hmph, if I became a ghost, I would definitely haunt you day and night, making it difficult for you to sleep or eat. Don't even think about having a good life."
She bared her teeth, trying to scare the other person.
These words were purely scary and meant to vent his anger, but they only made Xiao Shengxing feel unusually cute. Besides apology, there was also a tenderness in his dark eyes.
"Shiqi, don't be angry with me. I really was careless."

With a slight movement of her eyes, Su Lijin pretended to be natural and asked casually: "Xianxian, the soapberry smell on you is quite pleasant. Where do you get it from?"
"Oh, this is just an ordinary soapberry from a low-ranking palace maid."
