"Now it's my turn to ask you," Gu Ran said.
"Fine, let the beautiful, bright, kind-hearted, and passionate Miss answer the question of you, who had no choice but to change the subject because you couldn't win the argument," she replied.
"Less nonsense!"
"You're becoming less and less polite to me, but since you and I are so close at heart, I forgive you—I'm afraid of my mom."
"What's so scary about Mrs. Xiang?" Gu Ran didn't understand.
Chen Ke also turned around, looking curiously at He Qingyan.
"That's because you're not close to her," He Qingyan said with a 'you guys have no idea' expression, "Once you get to know her, you'll see how terrifying that woman can be."
"That woman?" Gu Ran laughed.
"Five years," He Qingyan said, "If you're close to her, it only takes three years for her to recognize all the scents on you, the scent when you lie, when you're happy, when you're unhappy, the scent of all emotions."
"...That's impressive," Chen Ke was startled.
