Chu Anche had long known about the tricks and charades Xiong Yuyan and Chu Anjing used to play in front of him, and how they almost lost Xiao'an.
Upon hearing Xiao'an's words, his demeanor grew even colder.
Xiong Yuyan hurriedly said, "Xiao'an, auntie didn't do it on purpose, absolutely not intending to lose you, it was just an accident, please don't hold it against auntie for being careless..."
Xiao'an, however, was not very serious but instead spoke with a smile, "So that's how it is... Turns out Xiao'an misunderstood auntie's good intentions, I'm truly sorry. Please drink this glass of water as my thanks for your care..."
Seeing Xiao'an being so friendly towards her, Xiong Yuyan couldn't help feeling smug, and she shot Jian Shuyao a look full of pride, almost as if she wanted to say, "See, Xiao'an likes me, not a woman like you."
She picked up the glass and downed it in one gulp.
But suddenly, her throat felt as if it was clogged, and she started coughing loudly.
