Yet Yuanya felt a deep panic as if every part of her was seen through.
She tried to calm herself down after a moment of fear, stammering, "I, I wonder, where exactly are you taking me."
The statement was half genuine and half fabricated, yet her guilt made even the real half seem deceptive.
Lan Xiu didn't probe any further, simply stating, "That's for the best."
His tone was drawn out, as if it contained some hidden undertones.
Yuanya detected the threat in his words, swallowed nervously and dared not to say another word.
"Why such silence?" Lan Xiu was dissatisfied with her quietness again.
This time she genuinely replied, "I don't know what to say."
Their relationship was forced, after all, where would they find some common topics for conversation?
He caressed her cheek, seeming unconcerned.
"Say anything, anything about you, I'd love to hear."
