Ren Yaoqi regretted saying this. Wasn't she slapping Xiao Jingxi in the face? She was just short of scolding him for being too nosy. It was obvious that Ren Yaoqi wasn't as nonchalant as she appeared to be, and she still took her anger out on him.
Just as he was about to say something to make amends, Xiao Jingxi laughed first. He pointed at his chin and looked at Ren Yaoqi leisurely and said, "This is the third time you've gotten angry at me."
Ren Yaoqi: “…”
Why did she feel that this was wrong? How dare she get angry at Xiao Jingxi? When did this happen? Had her manners fallen so low? Ren Yaoqi simply couldn't believe this slander.
"Did Mr. Xiao misunderstand?" Ren Yaoqi came back to his senses and asked sincerely.
"Hmm." Xiao Jingxi smiled, noncommittal. He subconsciously picked up the teacup, but didn't sip. His slender, white fingers made the rough teacup look even more crude and rough.
There was another silence.
This time it was Xiao Jingxi who spoke first.
"Things are going well for the Lei family. You won our bet. According to the agreement, I will let the Lei family replace the Han family. In addition, you can also send me one thing."
Xiao Jingxi's words did not make Ren Yaoqi happy. She gently stroked the notch on the edge of the teacup with her fingers, and after a long time, she said, "Did I... do something wrong?"
Xiao Jingxi was a little surprised when he heard this. He thought Ren Yaoqi was always calm and confident, and would find a way to use tall people to support her even if the sky fell.
This was the first time he saw Ren Yaoqi so confused. Even when Ren Yaoqi was angry, he was very reserved and restrained.
"Why do you think so?"
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jingxi and said, "After hearing the story, don't you think that Han Dongshan's hatred is actually what the Ren family should bear? Even if you are on the side of justice, you shouldn't help me. If you want to cancel the bet between us, I don't mind."
Xiao Jingxi said calmly: "The grudge between the Zhai family and the Ren family has nothing to do with me."
Then why are you following me to listen to other people’s family secrets? Ren Yaoqi couldn’t help but complain in his heart.
"I want to know the Han family's purpose. After all, he is still working for the Yanbei Palace. He can't be a knife in their hands without knowing the reason." Xiao Jingxi seemed to see Ren Yaoqi's criticism and said with a smile.
Ren Yaoqi knew that Xiao Jingxi was indeed qualified to listen, because without him, she would not have known so easily.
