[217] Hit a little lighter

Mu Lingqian eventually found something fishy. Wen Xiangyang felt a chill running down her spine under Mu Lingqian's gaze. If she admitted that she went to see Yan Ge and was hit by his fiancee, knowing Mu Lingqian's temper, if he found out she had been to see Yan Ge, she would be in serious trouble.

Wen Xiangyang's eyes darted around and then she blurted out, "When I woke up, you were not around. I thought it was a dream I had last night, so I slapped myself. I didn't realize I had hit myself too hard."

As soon as Wen Xiangyang finished her sentence, she realized that Mu Lingqian was quietly observing her, not saying a word.

Her heart started beating wildly. She knew her explanation wasn't convincing—she felt like slapping herself for such a gaffe. Why didn't she think of a better excuse?

Just as Wen Xiangyang was feeling regretful, Mu Lingqian finally spoke, "You thought it was a dream last night?"

Wen Xiangyang nodded.
