"Thankfully we didn't blow our cover. Darling, your acting was actually pretty good."
Hai Xiaotang, thinking about how she lay on the ground pretending to be dead, couldn't help but laugh.
Huffily, she said, "I am being serious with you, not joking!"
Dongfang Yu kissed her forehead. "I'm serious too. Your acting and reaction were surprising indeed."
"I haven't any acting skills, I just followed Dongfang Hen's subtle hint and played along. But how did you come to play dead?" Hai Xiaotang looked at him, puzzled.
Dongfang Yu smiled faintly, "As soon as the bullet hit me, I knew something was off. Plus, Dongfang Hen gave me a non-verbal cue, so I decided to take a gamble."
Unexpectedly, Dongfang Hen had never intended to kill them.
Reminded of all this, Hai Xiaotang felt chills running down her spine.
"Thank God Dongfang Hen discovered Duanmu Qiong's conspiracy first, otherwise wouldn't we be dead by now?"
Dongfang Yu stared at Hai Xiaotang, deep in his thoughts.
