Li Nuo mentioned the name "Phoenix" and noticed Anning was stunned.
Jiaren paused slightly in her bed-making.
This also left him bewildered.
So... had he spoken incorrectly?
But they both knew her well; it wouldn't be strange to interact with Phoenix, so who else could it be?
It couldn't possibly be Yiren, could it?
Li Nuo suddenly realized something and looked again at Anning and Jiaren.
No way, were they talking about Yiren?
He looked at Anning and said, "Hear me out..."
A moment later.
Li Nuo walked out of the room, and the door slammed shut behind him.
He looked up at the star-filled sky, feeling very wronged.
They spoke in riddles rather than being clear, Phoenix and Yiren—it was obvious that their relationship with Phoenix was better, anyone would think of Phoenix first, how could he be blamed?
Li Nuo sighed and was about to settle for a night in the study when he saw a figure moving under the moonlight by the lake not far away.
