Her breath hitched, then caught fire again.
"And for what? For someone's ego? For revenge? Or just convenience?"
Then, her eyes caught it—that flicker. That split-second glance from Bai Tian. His jaw clenched like a trap snapping shut, his expression neutral but strained. And his gaze… it had landed where it shouldn't have.
