"You already know my true nature, don't you?" Bai Nuanxi smiled mischievously, trying to brush the subject aside as she clung tightly to Huo Muchen's arm. "Darling, are you finished with work?"
She didn't dare admit that she hadn't called Huo Muchen here from the start. If Bai Chengtian overheard, it would definitely give him more reason to cause trouble, and she didn't want to get entangled in endless complications.
Huo Muchen gave her a long, penetrating look, and when Bai Nuanxi started to feel a bit guilty, he finally said, "Yes, I'm done."
"You said we'd come here together. Why did you come back alone?" Huo Muchen gently wrapped his arm around Bai Nuanxi's waist. His words were warm, like the winter sun, but his gaze, directed at Bai Chengtian, was icy cold.
