It's perfectly reasonable for Jiang Chen to take note of you and observe you cautiously. I don't see anything out of the ordinary."
After a brief pause, Shangguan Ning added with a hint of mystery, "However..."
"However, what?" Fang Yuan immediately interjected, his attention sharpened by her hint.
