I am not worried about her (2)

"I am not worried about her," Yang Lingyun clarified, his response curt and seemingly detached.

Not worried?

Xia Lihua's laughter bubbled up again, tinged with mockery. 

Men could effortlessly tell lies...

Like claiming not to be worried about their fiancées, even when their love for them is apparent...

Why bother with such a blatant lie? Especially when practically the world was aware of how deeply he cared for Xia Mengrui.

"Why are you laughing? What's so funny?" Yang Lingyun frowned. 

What's funny? Everything about this was funny. 

Xia Lihua was disgusted by how easily Yang Lingyun was lying. What was the point of lying?

His lies made Xia Lihua think he had some ulterior motives.

"You know you are forcing me right now to go with you," she said, sounding disdainful.
