Ning Xia felt as if her heart were being dragged by something, sinking bit by bit inside her chest, causing her breath to catch and stop altogether.
However, she heard what the aide-de-camp, He, said next, "Shi Jiayin is the goddess in every man's heart—how could I possibly not know her!"
"...."
He paused, then added, "But rest assured, Miss Ning, you are the one and only goddess in my heart!"
"...."
Ning Xia pursed her lips, deciding to ask more directly, "So... does Young Master Bo know Shi Jiayin?"
"Reporting to the aide-de-camp, everything has been taken care of!" A soldier had approached the duo unawares.
Both of their voices nearly overlapped; not knowing if the aide-de-camp had failed to hear her question or had forcefully ignored it, he simply addressed the soldier, "Very well."
Then he turned his head to look at Ning Xia, "Miss Ning, I have other business to attend to, so I must be going."
Ning Xia frowned, reminding him, "You haven't answered my question."
