The head of the staff revealed an awkward look. He had not expected the Qu family's eldest missus to be this stubborn and prideful.
"Why? Can't do it?"
The lady chuckled. He could only hear her laughter in this huge banquet hall. His heart shook with emotion, but he did not notice it.
"I can do it."
He did not know where he got the courage from, but he nodded. When he noticed the glint in her eyes, the bit of ripples in his heart grew strong enough to swallow him whole.
"Fine, then. Go find your master. Just tell him my words. Also, I'm not someone anyone can touch or talk to."
Her final laughter made him feel as though he had fallen from heaven straight to hell as he straightened himself. It had just been a brief exchange, yet his emotions had been on a rollercoaster ride throughout.
When he timidly returned to Ji Ziming's side, before he could speak, the ma asked coldly,
"Why? Did she not accept your help?"
