The warmth and strength emanating from his grip on her wrist made Su Tang feel a little uncomfortable.
She tried to pull away but couldn't, so she met his gaze. "It's really nothing. She was just so loud she gave me a headache."
Su Tang paused before adding, "She also tried to get everyone to pressure me, saying I was heartless for not forgiving her."
"But Sister-in-law Zhang Cui helped me out."
The look in Lu Xiao's eyes turned cold in an instant. His grip on her hand tightened, and the air around him grew heavy. "She dared?"
"It's fine now. Director Li handled it."
Su Tang could sense his suppressed anger and quickly said, "I have to go. The dean is still waiting for me."
Only then did Lu Xiao release her hand, but his gaze remained heavy on her face, filled with scrutiny and an emotion Su Tang couldn't decipher.
His Adam's apple bobbed. He looked like he wanted to say something but, in the end, only managed, "Be careful on your way."
"Okay."
