"What exactly do you want from me, Ms. Xue?"
Even after playing with words for so long, Xue Mi had not made her intentions clear.
Xue Mi bit her lower lip with frustration.
She had tried to butter him up with compliments and some tidbits of information. Her attempt to gain his sympathy had failed.
'Maybe, I need to say it out loud. Or else he will continue to ignore me.'
She contemplated in her head while avoiding eye contact.
"Big Brother Ikasa, you are our Xue Family's lifeline. Not only do we value your manuals and business, but your performance in this tournament will also decide our standing with the Zhen Family."
At last, Ikasa smirked. For the first time since the start of the meeting, he showed genuine emotion other than shock.
He thought about Xue Mi's sudden intimacy and her attempt to gloss over the reasons. He had expected the first reason but underestimated his importance in the second case.
