Guo Minjie hadn't expected to encounter her own student here.
As she was searching her bag for a wet wipe with her head down, she heard a familiar voice and couldn't help but tremble in her right hand, smearing the red print of her thumb's ink pad into her palm.
"Mm."
Guo Minjie pursed her upper lip and gave Lu Jincheng a slight nod, as a way of greeting.
Now she didn't even bother to look for the wet wipe anymore, clutching her hand as she made room for one person and headed straight for the elevator.
She didn't know why, but even though Lu Jincheng was the first to see through her secret, she still didn't want to face her student.
Out of shame?
No, that wasn't right.
Just coming to consult for legal services couldn't be worse than the encounter on the way to buying medicine that night.
Out of a need to protect the privacy of her family?
That didn't seem right either, as he had already seen through everything early on.
So, what was it then?
