Seeing the chatterbox in full swing, Wang Xiao's amusement began to give way to suspicion.
Her over-the-top enthusiasm was starting to seem just a little too genuine.
He narrowed his eyes, leaning slightly toward her. "Are you sure you're not just using this imposter as an excuse to vent all the things you actually want to do to me?"
"!"
Anran visibly flinched, her vibrant smile freezing in place.
For a moment, she was silent, her eyes widening as if she'd been caught red-handed.
"Hehe~" Then, she forced an awkward laugh, one that was just a bit too suspicious. "How could it be? I wouldn't dare!" she stammered, her voice a touch higher than usual.
Wang Xiao's expression softened into a mix of amusement and disbelief.
He gave her a look that said really? as he shook his head, a faint smirk on his lips.
"Just checking," he said, not entirely convinced, but willing to let it slide for now.
