Her demeanor was naturally cold, and though her words seemed no different from her usual tone, Gu Shiyan keenly sensed a change.
It had taken him two years to get Lu Miao to let her guard down around him, to add a touch of warmth to her attitude.
But now, Lu Miao seemed to revert to her initial demeanor, the icy detachment of their first meeting.
Gu Shiyan, understanding his own nature, quickly realized why.
So, was she bothered by Ning Wanwan?

Beside them, Ning Wanwan's eyes flickered as she smiled and approached, linking her arm with Gu Shiyan's. She cozied up to his side and spoke to Lu Miao.
"You must be Lu Miao, right? Shiyan mentioned you before. Thank you for being willing to help him back then. Without you, I wouldn't be able to stand by his side today."
Gu Shiyan's eyebrows twitched slightly. He stood still, looking at Lu Miao with an increasingly profound gaze.
