"I'm not sure exactly who it is," Xue Mianmian said as she cradled her teacup. "Anyone will do. I just want to leave as soon as possible."
The two chatted for a while longer when suddenly the steward arrived, saying Xue Ling had woken up and demanded that Shen Yinning get the hell out immediately.
Shen Yinning wanted nothing more than to leave.
The problem was that Shen Xinglei was still keeping watch just outside the Xue Mansion's gates like a predator. Leaving wasn't an option.
Xue Ling stood drowsily under the veranda, his roguishly handsome face marred by an expression of pure irritation.
Grinding his sharp teeth, he glared resentfully at Shen Yinning.
His sweet Mianmian had always been so obedient and gentle. But ever since she reunited with Shen Yinning, she had become willful and difficult, even daring to attempt something as outrageous as running away! Clearly, Shen Yinning had been a bad influence!
