With her grandfather in the hall, Nuannuan knew she had to find a more secluded place to speak with Xiangyi—she had too much to say to him!
Xiangyi followed her all the way until he chased her to the stairway.
"Nuannuan."
She wanted to leave, but he stopped her.
"What's wrong?"
Shi Nuannuan was very unhappy. She pouted her lips. "What were you doing with that woman just now! ?"
Xiangyi was stunned for half a second. "You mean Miss Manli?"
She did not say anything, which was a tacit agreement.
"I went out for some fresh air, and she happened to be there as well."
"What a coincidence!" Although her heart was immediately relieved, she still felt very uncomfortable when she remembered his coat draped over her body just now.
"What reason do I have to lie?"
"Then why did you drape your coat over her?" asked she again.
He answered honestly, "Because she was cold and was about to catch a cold."
