"Young Hero Li, you jest."
Lady Pei closed the door with her back, twisted her waist as she walked in, then turned and sat sideways on a bench, crossing her legs to reveal an astonishing curve.
Then, resting her chin in her hand, she looked at Li Yan, her breath fragrant as an orchid, and said, "Why must it be him? Can't I come and find you instead?"
"Could it be that you find me old and faded?"
As she spoke, her eyes were full of resentment.
"Lady Pei, there's no need to test me."
Li Yan's expression was calm as he picked up the teapot and poured tea for the two of them. "When you speak, your heartbeat is steady. This is clearly some kind of rhetoric meant to throw the other party off balance and then take control. It doesn't work on me."
"Furthermore, just now you referred to Brother Shen as 'he', indicating an unusual relationship, and you avoided others, clearly intending to speak with me alone."
"Oh?"
