Cheng Cang's gaze shifted toward her following Shang Lvxing's words.
Shang Lvxing deliberately paused for a moment, intent on observing whether she would show any emotional reaction.
The thoughts of these two men were remarkably aligned at this moment.
Compared to them, Lu Xining appeared to be the calmest of the three, quietly waiting for Shang Lvxing to continue.
Shang Lvxing: "He said, wait for him."
Back then, when Ji Muye learned this from Zhuang Tian, he was only a few steps away from Lu Xining. Yet instead of telling her these words himself, he had Shang Lvxing deliver them—words tinged with ambiguity?
Cheng Cang raised an eyebrow.
In his mind, he gave Ji Muye's tactics a perfect score.
This was clearly to test the rival first: on one hand, to see if Shang Lvxing would relay the message; on the other, presumably to warn him. Even in Ji Muye's absence, Lu Xining was still his, and Shang Lvxing better keep his thoughts clean and not entertain any other ideas about her.
