Qiao Xi was startled for a moment but quickly hid her reaction behind an impassive smile. "I don't know where you heard such rumors," she said in an even tone.
Chu Xiuyun looked at her helplessly, "Xixi, there's no need between us to speak in riddles. If I wasn't sure about this, I wouldn't have come to Jiang City to find you."
How much affection could she possibly have in a business marriage with Shen Dang?
Everything was finally getting back on track.
"Oh," Qiao Xi responded, pulling at her lip with a somewhat cold expression. "Since that's the case, don't beat around the bush with me. Just speak plainly."
Chu Xiuyun's gaze clung tightly to Qiao Xi's face, as though he wanted to etch her into his heart. "Xixi, you're free now. Give me a chance to take care of you. Shen Dang let you down, but I never will."
Chu Xiuyun seemed obsessed with the idea of having her.
It was crazy.
But Qiao Xi felt disgusted.
