She knew Pei Zhiyao's character well and understood that if he acted this way, the stage accident must be related to Ling Yuyan.
Otherwise, Pei Zhiyao wouldn't have reacted so intensely.
"Alright, since you say this matter is unrelated, then I'll continue the investigation. I don't believe your story about the theater owner and employees having a conflict. If I can't find out the truth, I won't let it go so easily."
She broke away from Pei Zhiyao's grasp, only to receive a dismissive, "Do as you please."
Those three simple words infuriated Wen Mian even more.
He could have chosen a better excuse, could have gently comforted her.
But Pei Zhiyao opted for the dumbest approach, also the one Wen Mian found most unforgivable.
In the end, Ling Yuyan was still chased out by Pei Zhiyao.
No matter how she pleaded, no matter how nicely she spoke, Pei Zhiyao was unyielding.
The space, once warm and intimate, became extremely awkward due to Ling Yuyan's presence.
Approaching midnight.
