Jin Ge's heart clenched, and his eyelids twitched rapidly.
For a moment, he almost dared not meet Ren Rude's eyes.
A surge of blood rushed to his head.
He had even thought through how to escape once Ren Rude learned of his betrayal of Xiao Cheng.
Then he heard Ren Rude laugh teasingly.
"Don't think I don't know about your little schemes. Haven't you been flirting quite a bit with Kong Yun'e from the clothing workshop?"
Jin Ge's heart skipped a beat and then returned to normal.
He wasn't sure whether Ren Rude was intentionally probing or had mentioned it inadvertently, but even with the greatest of care, his interactions with Kong Yun'e couldn't completely hide their mutual understanding from someone as cunning as Ren Rude.
It was impossible to deceive Ren Rude.
He simply admitted it.
"As a humble bachelor, even if I have thoughts, I dare not act recklessly. I wouldn't dare betray the trust His Majesty has placed in me."
