She hadn't expected Huo Tingxiao to suddenly bring up Lin Yize, and Mu Lan, caught unprepared, subconsciously replied.
"How do you know?"
After saying that, she felt something wasn't right and added another sentence.
"What's it to do with senior Guan?"
Huo Tingxiao curled the corner of his lips, holding her small hand, so soft.
"So what had Lin Yize helped you with before? That made you turn down my offer to go to the cocktail party with him?"
Mu Lan was dumbfounded—how long ago was that? Why was it being brought up today? Was Huo Tingxiao really so vindictive?
"It was just when I was harassed by some bullies during my first year of high school, and it was Senior Lin who helped me settle things. How could I possibly forget such a favor?
Moreover, would you please be reasonable? I had no idea beforehand that you two were going to the same party. Otherwise, I certainly would have declined.
