Hearing his words, Ruan Fu's heart tightened.
She had no idea what kind of fit Mo Ran was throwing, or why he chose this exact moment to act like they were intimately acquainted. Did he truly intend to disregard his own status and blurt out everything that had happened that day?
Ruan Fu looked at him.
At that very moment, Jiu Jun's voice rang in her ears. "Oh? So you two really are old acquaintances. How come I haven't seen you interacting these past few days?"
Jiu Jun narrowed his eyes, his gaze darting back and forth between the two of them as if trying to judge whether it was a lie.
Ruan Fu was cursing Mo Ran to death in her heart, but she maintained a polite smile on her face. "We..."
"We only met once before when hunting beasts with Xuan Ling. We aren't that close," Mo Ran said, draining the wine in his cup in one gulp. "But next time, we'll get a bit more familiar."
