"Who's going to miss you?" she muttered, "You've only been gone a few days."

Li Meirong raised her face to glare silently at Zhu Qingyue; her red face was full of unspoken accusations, but she received only another infuriating chuckle in response.

Would it kill this white-haired devil to stop constantly embarrassing her? Or making her embarrass herself?
