~ Chapter 82 ~
Xia Jiannan kept stuttering as he tried to find the right words to say to the seemingly impatient Wang Rouxi. In the end, he just blurted out the lamest excuse he could think of.
"I... I am... just... just passing by..."
After he had said those words with great difficulty, Xia Jiannan could feel the heat rising up his neck and ears. He truly wanted to dig up a hole and bury himself in it!
How many times had he made himself look like a fool in front of Miss Rouxi?! Although she was now in her disguise as a male, it didn't help alleviate Xia Jiannan's embarrassment.
Xia Jiannan did not have any dignity left as he continued to embarrass himself before this goddess!
'Really? Just passing by? What in the world are you thinking, Xia Jiannan?! No one, with their right mind, would believe such nonsense!'
People would always praise him for his eloquence and wit, but after those twinkling dark orbs of hers stared right back at him, Xia Jiannan could not think straight. No matter how much he tried hard, he could not really come up with a great alibi.
Those mysterious eyes of hers seemed to be capable of peering at the deepest part of his soul...
Like they could see the darkest secrets that he had been keeping deep within...
As he was silently berating himself in his mind, Xia Jiannan did not notice the amusement flickering in Wang Rouxi's eyes.
Seeing that Xia Jiannan was flustered to the point where he could not even look at her straight in the eyes, Wang Rouxi's lips curled upwards.
'I did not know that the "Stoic King" Xia Jiannan would blush at such a question...'
