"Girl, wait a second," a somewhat familiar male voice called out from behind. Qinghe's mouth twitched slightly upwards, but her steps didn't stop.
Mei Jianning quickened his pace to catch up: "Haha, girl, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Qinghe's mouth curved into a sly smile: "Uncle, you were definitely chasing after us."
Ah, Mei Jianning's eye twitched, this was just polite banter, the kind of niceties people exchange in social settings. Couldn't she hear that? Seeing her current harmless look, he was absolutely convinced that she was a wolf in sheep's clothing, but that wasn't necessarily off-putting. From the abrupt change in her aura earlier, it was clear: don't provoke her, and she absolutely won't lash out.
"Hehe, the girl really has a sense of humor," Mei Jianning said awkwardly.
"Does uncle want to buy my jade?"
"Haha, I knew you were smart, girl. How about we find a place to talk?"
