"You bastard!" Jing Aotian picked up a cup and threw it in the direction where Lei Ming left, but Lei Ming just caught the cup elegantly, threw it back on the table with a flick of his hand, and left with a smile without looking back.
"Um... Yu'er!" Jing Aotian laughed dryly. "I admit my mistake. I was just anxious. I really didn't trust you. I just..."
"Xi'er, it's time to wake up. Let's go back!" An Tingyu interrupted him lightly, with no expression on her face. No emotion could be seen on her face, but such a calm attitude made Jing Aotian feel even worse.
That's just An Tingyu's temper. The quieter she is, the more frightening she becomes, so...

"Is it funny? But why don't I think it's funny at all? The first time Miss An wanted to see me, it was you who introduced her. Although it was a favor and you were repaying her, think about it, is it really just repaying a favor? The second time, when Miss An was 'invited' to the Canwang Mansion by me, we met you on the street. I thought it was just a coincidence, but now think about it, An Tingyu has been in Yuyan Country for the past two days.
