Chapter 1267: Long tongue and sharp claws

He Zexi stiffened. He looked up at Ye Xiyuan and maybe it was because of the dim lighting in the room but something about her made him terrified. He stared at her not knowing whether to swallow or throw up the meat in his mouth, was it safe to eat? 

"Haha, look at your face!" Just as He Zexi's anxiety was climbing up his spine, he heard Ye Xiyuan laugh at him. He stared at her who was chortling away and heaved a sigh of relief. She was joking with him! 

"You scared me," He Zexi remarked, he reached out his hand and wiped the sweat on his face. "Saying such a terrifying thing with a smile on your face, for a second I thought you were saying the truth." 

Ye Xiyuan scrunched up her nose cutely. She took a bite of her braised beef and remarked, "It's your fault for being so gullible, Brother Zexi. Who asked you to trust me?"
