Kapitel 286: King Chu's Time-out

When Liu Manhong re-emerged with a cup of water in her hand, she was bemused.

"I think I heard the door opening… Eh, where's Yanjue?" 

She looked around, but Qiao Yanjue was nowhere to be seen. 

"He just left. He said he was busy," Xia Xibei explained with a pale face, forcing out a stiff smile. 

"Busy?" Liu Manhong got even more confused. "I just went inside for a little while, so how did he get so busy all of a sudden?" 

Xia Xibei tried her best to put on an innocent front, "I have no idea, but he seemed to be in a hurry." 

As she spoke, her cheeks couldn't help but flush red again. 

How could he not be in a hurry?! 

Having thought of that, she couldn't help but shoot a death glare at King Chu, who was standing at the side with an innocent face. 

If it wasn't for this dog, things wouldn't have turned out this way! How was she supposed to face Qiao Yanjue after this?!
