This sudden move startled her once again. Raising her hand in anger, she pounded his chest, "Why do keep appearing and disappearing out of nowhere tonight, it's scaring me to death!"
"You seem particularly jittery tonight. Have you done something to betray me by any chance... hmm?" He lowered his voice, looking at her with somewhat feigned scrutiny.
Chi Xingye pounded him again, chuckling out of annoyance, "I'm cooped up in this golden cage all day, every day because of you. Where would I go to do something to betray you?"
The words carried a hint of resentment.
