"I don't know why Xinglan is upset. We were chatting just fine, then suddenly she became off."
Yin Lian didn't want Shen Xinglan to have any misunderstandings with Huo Shiyan, so she told him the truth.
The couple had helped her a lot, so naturally, she hoped that they would be well and without any barriers between them.
"At what point in the conversation did she seem off?" Huo Shiyan asked, trying to understand why she was upset by analyzing their conversation.
"Let me think." Yin Lian needed time to recall what they had talked about today.
After a while, Yin Lian said, "I remember. She asked me how I won over Cheng Chi, I asked her back, and then she became off."
"I see, thank you." Huo Shiyan had a rough guess, but he needed further analysis.
"Huo Shiyan, wait..."
"Hmm, go ahead."
"Xinglan is actually quite sensitive. Don't blame her. She might have just misinterpreted something. You mustn't blame her." Yin Lian said worriedly. Emotions can often be illogical.
