Ximen Huai sat still in place, as motionless as a clay figurine.
Su Mo glanced at him before speaking:
"Brother Ximen..."
"Hmph."
Ximen Huai let out a faint snort and instinctively turned his face away.
Su Mo remained silent, puzzled by the situation.
He immediately shook his head lightly:
"Brother Ximen, today in the hall, it was indeed a misunderstanding on your part.
"Between Miss Shangguan and me, it is entirely innocent, with absolutely no entanglement.
"I hope Brother Ximen will consider it more thoroughly, and not ruin such a great match due to momentary anger."
"Ah?"
Ximen Huai was taken aback, not expecting Su Mo to start with such words.
He couldn't help but glance at Su Mo with some doubt:
"You're... you're serious?"
"Absolutely no falsehood."
"Then... what did she explain to you?"
Ximen Huai said, "After we left Shuangxiong Island, we agreed to meet here on Tianqi Island. From then on, we'd fly together as a pair. Why explain anything to others?
