Jie Jingchen froze, staring at Qin Mei, stunned speechless.
The food suddenly lost its appeal. He had thought Qin Mei saved it for him, but it turned out to be Qin Xiang. Qin Xiang was his brother-in-law, and Qin Mei was his wife. His wonderful, self-satisfied fantasy had been mercilessly shattered by Qin Xiang.
Qin Mei wasn't a fool. Seeing Jie Jingchen's disappointment, she shot a reproachful glare at Qin Xiang and told a little white lie. "I asked my brother to save it for you."
Qin Xiang reacted instantly and chimed in, "Right, right, right! It was my sister who told me to save it for you. Who else would be thinking of you besides her? Me? Not a chance. I barely had enough for myself, so how could I have possibly saved any for you? Heh, no way."
Qin Mei covered her ears. 'He's protesting too much. The more he says, the more obvious the lie becomes.'
