Confrontation

When Lin Jian left, Xiehan went to the studio to check on Lanni. She was almost done with her painting and was humming softly as she stroked it with her brush. He had never seen her paint this happily.

When she felt his presence, she turned to him with a smile. "How long have you been standing there?" She asked.

"Long enough to enjoy the view." He teased, and she chuckled.

"Come here. Did you finish discussing with Lin Jian? You didn't kill him, did you?" The last part was a teasing joke, which made him laugh.

"What if I did, mh?" He closed in on her. "Will you help me hide the body?"

"Only if Ruby doesn't kill me before I'm done."

"That will not happen. Well, I refrained from killing him." He responded and took a seat on the couch.

"Can you not make it sound like actual murder was about to happen?" She pinched him playfully.
