Assistant Hou took the blame with expert skill, his eyelids twitching several times as he grinned sheepishly.
"Mr. Qiao is right, perhaps I... forgot to take my medication recently?"
An accomplished sycophant must know how to flatter their boss into comfort at all times and in all situations. Assistant Hou was well-practiced in this art, and without hesitation, he had his next move ready.
He lifted the Tengu that was resting on the chair, examining its crotch area closely.
"Tengu, tell me, are you a boy or a girl?"
"..."
There was something oddly eerie about the scene.
Qiao Dongyang watched calmly, his lips... curling upward, curling further upward.
It was clear he was enjoying himself.
Assistant Hou knew his raison d'être, continuing his performance, "Tengu, you must be a girl, right? Why don't you have a little ding-dong?"
"..."
Speechless!
Chi Yue rolled her eyes.
