"What are you doing?"
Wang Jian was flustered. He quickly glanced toward the kitchen, letting out a sigh of relief only when he saw no one was there. In a low voice, he hissed at Li Liping, "Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
"So what?" Li Liping stood up from the sofa and pressed herself close to him. "Don't you like it?"
"Or... are you scared?"
"Of cou—" The words "of course I'm scared" were on the tip of Wang Jian's tongue, but the teasing look in Li Liping's eyes made his masculine pride force them back down. "Am I supposed to pretend my sister-in-law doesn't exist?" he finally asked.
"Pfft, what's your sister-in-law got to do with you? It's not like she can control you. I'm not afraid..."
Li Liping had just finished speaking when Xu Qian really did peek her head out from the kitchen and call out, "You'll have to wait for me a bit. Brewing the tea will take a few minutes."
