"You..."
Ling Yuyan, surprised, extended a hand but quickly waved it in denial, her heart racing.
Yet Pei Zhiyao remained utterly calm, as if he had been aware of the entire process and incident all along.
Even who Ling Yuyan had contacted, and exactly who had helped her arrange the scene, Pei Zhiyao knew everything clearly.
"I didn't trouble you out of respect for your dignity, but now you're behaving like this, do you really want me to completely fall out with you?"
"No."
Ling Yuyan's tone was frantic, and she quickly shook her head in fear, her motions of denial becoming more vigorous.
Pei Zhiyao saw right through her emotions but didn't care to waste words with her.
"This has nothing to do with me, who told you it did? I can explain it to you."
"No need."
The man walked on, and Ling Yuyan followed behind.
Her unsteady steps barely kept up with Pei Zhiyao's pace.
