Chapter 168: Ex-Husband, Bury It

"Miss Secretary, do you realize how heavy-handed your performance is?"

In the quiet corridor late at night, Lu Xining's voice was soft and faint, her eyes tinted with amusement, her tone laced with teasing mockery.

Shen Molin's expression faltered upon hearing her words.

She brushed back the wet hair on the side of her face, feigning ignorance, "I don't understand what you mean. What am I performing?"

Though Lu Xining was many years younger than Shen Molin, she was much taller.

When she wasn't smiling, her presence was very similar to Ji Muye's.

The sound of water running came from the bedroom, as if someone was taking a shower, but from the doorway, one couldn't see if anyone was inside.

Too deliberate.

Lu Xining saw through the messy ruse in the room at a glance.

If Shen Molin hadn't made the room look so chaotic, she might have believed that Ji Muye really could be involved with someone so close.
