However, just as she began to speak, Xi Muchen interrupted her with a smile.
"Just teasing you, I said I'd wait for your answer tomorrow, and I will wait." Xi Muchen leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "Do you know why I gave you this dress? Because I traded a dress you like for a person I like, it's fair, isn't it?"
Xia Wanwan, unusually not arguing with him, whispered with a flushed face, "Xi Muchen, thank you."
"Hmm?" Xi Muchen raised his eyebrows, looking at her, and in a voice not too loud but loud enough for Cecile and the servants nearby to hear, asked, "Thank who?"
Everyone immediately caught onto Xi Muchen's implication and began to chuckle suggestively.
