During their conversation, a shout came from inside the inn.
"Mr. Shi, Mr. Wu, where are you? Please come out to meet us. Mr. Shi, Mr. Wu..."
More sounds of guest room doors opening followed, as if someone was checking each room in succession.
Soon, the shouting occurred right beneath them.
After the footsteps had receded, Wu Jinliang quietly asked, "Weiying? Impossible! We have no grudges against her, why would she harm us? Tell me the truth, did you take advantage of me being away to grope someone? Don't think I didn't see you touching Xiang Laner all the way, too flirty."
He vividly remembered how the other had run while holding Xiang Laner, the way he held her was simply unbearable to watch. He wanted to switch places and hold her instead, but the other preferred the girl over his friend and disagreed. And yet, the next moment, he had to go and pretend to chase after Xiang Laner for the play—it felt so unfair. Why couldn't he do the chasing? He was so tall and good-looking.
