Si Xi forced himself to remain calm and asked, "Manager Wan, what is it?"
Wan Qiqi rested her chin on her hand and looked at the other person, a smile curving her lips. "It's nothing. I heard from Manager Zhu that your family is having some difficulties. I was just wondering if you need any help?"
Si Xi stared at Wan Qiqi's smile and always felt that her smile was sinister, as if a knife was hidden behind it.
Even hearing someone ask if I needed help felt fake.
