Pei Yuanchen saw her expression and suddenly realized, "Is it He Jingyao?"
"No way..." Zhixi forced a laugh.
"He came over last night!" Pei Yuanchen said with certainty, "And he stayed for a long time, didn't he?"
Zhixi's cheeks turned slightly red, unable to refute.
Pei Yuanchen, irritated, threw the piece of bread he was holding onto the table and cursed fiercely.
Just for this trivial matter, He Jingyao had actually played him like a fool... When he first received the news, he had even considered the worst-case scenario!
Zhixi avoided his gaze, "It's your fault... Why did you have to run a smuggling business? If you were doing a legitimate business, there wouldn't be anything to fear..."
Pei Yuanchen sneered, "I suddenly regret it, I should have hooked you in from the start."
Zhixi was displeased, "Don't talk as though I'm so easy to hook! Do you understand 'once vast seas' or comprehend 'other than Mount Wu? Compared to Jingyao, everyone else is insignificant to me!"
