Lu Sangjiu snorted and said bluntly, "Seeing you strutting like a peacock, do you even need to ask?"
'If he hadn't caught them, he'd probably be too embarrassed to even mention it.'
Xie Ningyuan tsked. "Couldn't you be a little more polite about it?"
Though his words were a complaint, he didn't seem the least bit reproachful, as if he was already used to Lu Sangjiu being like this.
And it was the same for Lu Sangjiu. She was great at putting on an act in front of others, but she couldn't keep it up for even a moment in front of Xie Ningyuan.
'Perhaps it was because he had seen right through her long ago, and she felt that even a disguise couldn't fool him. Or maybe… she was just throwing caution to the wind?'
When someone understands you completely and holds your life in their hands, you either beg for mercy or throw caution to the wind.
Lu Sangjiu was clearly incapable of the former, so she could only embrace the latter to the fullest.
