Yu Qi casually shrugged her shoulders with an air of practised indifference before picking up her chopsticks once more. Her dismissive attitude made it crystal clear to everyone at the table that she considered the interrogation finished and had no intention of entertaining further suspicion.
"Senior Brother, Master... please, stop this already. This is embarrassing." Chang Shuchun suddenly spoke up, her voice ringing with sincerity and a sharp hint of defensiveness on Yu Qi's behalf. "I am alive because of her. We should be showing gratitude, not pointing fingers."
Lou Weizhe fell silent for a long, heavy moment. His sharp eyes carefully studied Yu Qi's completely unbothered expression, searching for a crack in her composure, but he found only a calm as deep as a mountain lake. Finally, he let out a long, weary sigh and lowered his head slightly toward her in a formal, stiff gesture of apology.
