A smile touched Xie Jinbai's eyes. He let out a low "Oh?" and leaned close to her ear. "I have a question I'm curious about, too. How about we clear things up for each other?"
Cui Lingyao looked up, a little wary.
Unfortunately, she was completely blind in the darkness and couldn't see a thing.
But lighting a lamp was out of the question. What would they do if a servant discovered two shadows in the room?
As a martial artist, Xie Jinbai had no trouble seeing in the dark. Seeing her beautiful almond eyes filled with defensiveness, he coaxed her, amused, "It's perfectly fair. You answer one of my questions, and I'll answer one of yours. I absolutely won't let you get the short end of the stick."
'When had he ever let her get the short end of the stick?'
Cui Lingyao hesitated for a moment, but in the end, her curiosity got the better of her.
She nodded. "Then you answer my question first."
