Yu Ling glared at Jian Xi with annoyance, "Who allowed you to come in?"
"Uh, it was Auntie, you..."
"Did I permit you to touch my balcony? To touch my table?" Yu Ling said angrily.
Jian Xi: "..."
Although Yu Ling had a bad temper, yelling and screaming... it really didn't suit a lady of her stature!
"Auntie, Mufeng isn't coming back tonight, he asked me to keep you company for supper," Jian Xi lied, without a blush or a heartbeat, convincing as if it were true.
Upon the mention of Nan Mufeng, Yu Ling's expression softened slightly as she asked, "Why isn't he coming back?"
"He didn't say, probably something came up!"
"Where did he go?" Yu Ling asked again.
Jian Xi hesitated for a moment and chose not to say, "I don't know, he said he had business to attend to. He went out with Ailin."
"Ailin?" Yu Ling was taken aback, she narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Jian Xi. Her sharp gaze made Jian Xi feel somewhat guilty.
