Jiang Yuzhu saw Shen Qiang standing at the door, her eyebrows tightly furrowed. She looked at Pei Jingchuan, then turned to Shen Qiang, "Didn't you say you were going to the bathroom? How did you end up in the study?"
She watched her with cold eyes, curious to hear what Shen Qiang would say next.
Shen Qiang, who stood only a few steps away from the study, seemed a bit clueless. She had just entered not long ago, hoping to get closer to Pei Jingchuan, only to find Jiang Yuzhu here as well.
"I did go to the bathroom, I just took a wrong turn and needed to ask him the way back," she said smoothly, staring anywhere but Jiang Yuzhu, afraid she might expose her lie.
Then she turned her gaze to Pei Jingchuan, hoping he would come to her rescue.
But the moment she met his eyes, she could see his sullen face; he had no intention of helping her out.
Shen Qiang's fingers turned pale as she tightly grasped the hem of her clothes.
Jiang Yuzhu registered Shen Qiang's every little move.
