Tan Rou covered her face, took a long time to calm her emotions, then slowly raised her head, and even pretended to wipe the corner of her eye.
She had no choice; if Tao Qi found out she was faking her crying to deceive him, he would certainly be furious and not trust her anymore.
Tan Rou had to act out the whole charade, so Tao Qi wouldn't realize it.
Fortunately, Tan Rou's face was flushed with suppressed laughter, and tears even stained the corners of her eyes, which made her actually look as if she had cried.
Tao Qi anxiously stared at Tan Rou, "You've stopped crying? I didn't say anything, so why are you so agitated? You couldn't possibly be pretending to be pitiful, could you?"
Tan Rou felt a bit guilty and her gaze flickered, she quickly explained, "What reason do I have to act pitiful? You never liked me much to begin with, so how could you feel sorry for me?"
