Pei Zhao watched her with a cold gaze.
"Do you think I am a woman?"
"I never meant that, it's you who insist on taking it personally.
Mr. Pei, I am just a weak woman and cannot withstand such intimidation.
However, since Mr. Pei is asking me, it would be impolite not to answer. If you think so, then so be it; I won't refute."
Mu Lan deliberately mimicked his tone, while Pei Zhao clenched his molars, his eyes fierce.
"Provocation? Being able to employ tactics is also my capability; the adult world is nothing but survival of the fittest."
Mu Lan's gaze swept over Pei Zhao's legs. Though she said nothing, her emotions were keenly captured by Pei Zhao's sensitivity.
She pitied him because he was disabled.
Pei Zhao could accept her abuse, her accusations, but he could never accept her... pity!
A woman's pity made him feel worthless, and he never wanted to be worthless.
"Mu Lan, if you choose Huo Tingxiao, I'll make you regret it!"
"Well, let's see who ends up regretting it."
