"Mmm, go ahead."
Xu Lingmeng obediently nodded, and only when Meng Xi'er had turned to leave did the expression on her face drop slightly. That face, which normally appeared so innocent and naive, now seemed a little sinister.
She had thought that showing the photo to Lu Yebai would set him off, that he would refuse to accept it, that he would...
