Xu Muyao pursed his thin lips, ignoring her words. His gaze was piercing, fixed on the road ahead, his eyes brimming with jealousy.
Fortunately, he had strong self-control. In less than a minute, the car slowed down, and the emotions that were disturbing him receded quickly like the tide, and he hid them away.
"In a hurry to get back to do business, huh? What? Scared?" He suddenly revealed a sly smile, the curve of his lips revealing his sharp teeth.
