As time ticked away, Xia Lu remained seated beside without any intention of leaving, raising Zhou Xinyao's suspicions. "Why are you staying here? They all treasure you now, surely they didn't ask you to join me for tea."
"I thought you might be bored alone," Xia Lu casually offered an excuse.
"Ha!" Zhou Xinyao sneered coldly, "Miss, could you at least act more convincingly? If you were truly worried I'd be bored alone, why were you silent when Grandma asked me to make tea, yet now you're acting all high and mighty in front of me? Let me be honest with you, your little tricks might fool my cousin, but there's no way you could fool me."
