Chapter 117: 3.8

Their eyes interlocked with each other. No one was willing to lose. They kept staring, and staring, until Xie Yongrui lifted the girl up and made sure that she sat properly.

"You're not going to turn away? That's new." Xie Yongrui chuckled. He was someone who was perfectly aware of his charms and blessed looks, so it wasn't anything surprising to him when people who came near him began to fluster up. It boosted his confidence. He could even be categorized as a narcissist, albeit having all the qualifications to act as such.

"Why should I turn away? I did nothing wrong, and it was you that started all of this." Xu Jiaqi replied, wanting to show a feisty character to match Xie Yongrui's actions. She contained her emotions until not a single trace of blushing was present on her face.
