Jing Lixue hadn't turned around, yet it was as if she had witnessed the intimate gesture between the two.
Her introduction of the scenery in a soft and elegant voice hesitated slightly, unexpectedly showing little reaction, continuing as if she had seen nothing.
It wasn't until they reached the next pavilion that she suddenly turned with a smile to the two behind her and said leisurely, "I almost forgot, I have arranged to meet an important friend today. Xu Yuan, would it be convenient for you to join me? If I'm not mistaken, you might have met this person before."
Her smiling expression inexplicably gave Xu Yuan a bad feeling.
Xu Yuan really wanted to refuse.
Jing Lixue's demeanor seemed as if she had already seen through his desire to have the two compete against each other, giving him no chance and harboring no thoughts of conflict with Lin Qingque.
So, next, unless something unexpected happened, it would likely be another ploy of using others to do her bidding.
