The message flashed onto the screen, and the surrounding atmosphere instantly grew frigid.
In the dim light, the villainous man drew closer, his cold, slitted pupils fixed on her.
Jiang Qingli hadn't thought anything of it, but under his intense gaze, she felt inexplicably sheepish. "What is it...?"
"Who?" Ye Linyuan bit out a single, cold word.
"Yuan Shiyao," Jiang Qingli explained. "He's Yuan Shimo's younger brother. The student council found out Gu Nian was missing, and he told me he would help me rescue her."
She added with a sigh, "The student council members are always putting on airs, but they're surprisingly responsible when it counts."
Ye Linyuan wasn't interested in why Yuan Shiyao was messaging her. He asked coldly, "Is that what he usually calls you?"
Jiang Qingli thought for a moment. "He used to just call me by my name. I think he only started calling me 'sister-in-law' recently."
