Liu Mei believed she had finally one-upped the Ruanlin Family in their ongoing rivalry, humming a tune cheerfully as she returned to her room.
After returning to the courtyard, Ruan Jiaojiao was still clinging to the gate, watching Xiu Xi. Based on her recent understanding of Xiu Xi, this little villain definitely wasn't as kind-hearted as he appeared to be—he must be up to no good.
She beckoned to him with a little wave of her hand.
Xiu Xi immediately walked over.
"Why did you do that? Grandma is angry," Ruan Jiaojiao said.
Xiu Xi looked at her but simply stated, "The prey isn't mine."
Huh?
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at him, puzzled—what did he mean the prey wasn't his?
"Mine is only for you to eat," Xiu Xi added, taking her small hand into his, the seriousness of his expression as if he were making a vow.
Ruan Jiaojiao understood.
Did this mean that the prey wasn't caught by him? And that the prey he caught would only be for her to eat?
