"W-, What?!"
Elder Qian didn't seem pleased at all; in fact, she looked immensely furious, her expression clearly betrayed her emotions. Yet, there was also a hint of embarrassment shown by the redness of her face. She appeared to be at a loss for words, as if her mind was struggling to form coherent sentences.
Guo Xiaomei stepped forward and shouted, "Wei, take back what you said this instant!"
All Yang Wei did was to shrug nonchalantly. He kept his demeanor relaxed as he calmly replied, "Why should I? It's just a bit of fun. Unless..." He glanced back at Elder Qian, his eyes twinkling mischievously. "...she's somehow afraid to follow through with the bet."
With a pensive expression, Yang Wei closed his eyes as if deep in thought. Then, he nodded as if reaching a conclusion. "Yes, yes, that must be it."
Elder Qian ground her teeth in frustration.
This bastard...!
