Hearing these words, Lu Xingzhou should have displayed an extremely shocked expression, as that reaction would have been appropriate.
But after thinking it over, he curved his lips into a smile, his demeanor calm.
His face remained unruffled, and his voice gentle, "I know."
This time, it was Jiang Man's turn to be surprised, raising her eyebrows, her voice lifted, "You know? Since when?"
"Not long ago."
Jiang Man was momentarily at a loss for words; she thought she was good at disguising, used to playing dumb to catch the smart.
Yet she hadn't expected Lu Xingzhou to be even more composed than she was.
To know that she was the King's daughter, and to seem so unaffected?
"You have no thoughts about my old man?" she probed.
Lu Xingzhou gave her a sidelong glance, "I only have thoughts about you."
"..."
While the two were flirting, the capable Vermilion Bird approached.
"Miss," she bowed and then got straight to the point.
"Jin Ye would like to see Young Master Lu."
