A hint of amusement appeared in Baili Hongzhuang's eyes as she teased Xia Zhiqing.
No matter how composed and level-headed a woman may be on a daily basis, once she falls in love, she becomes sensitive and petty.
Looking at Baili Hongzhuang's teasing expression, Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but feel annoyed and said, "Boss, with the situation like this, you still have the mood to tease me?"
Her current mood was incredibly terrible. Just the thought of Bai Junyu's indifferent attitude made her angry and disappointed.
She wanted to let it go, but after coming back, the matter kept replaying in her mind, refusing to leave.
She tried to meditate and cultivate, but she couldn't calm her mind. Not only was her cultivation ineffective, but she might even lose control and become possessed by evil spirits.
So, in such a situation, she could only sit quietly by herself, feeling incredibly frustrated.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore," Baili Hongzhuang adjusted her expression and said, "Why did you come back with Ji Wenshu today? What happened between you and Junyu?"
Xia Zhiqing glanced at Baili Hongzhuang and then opened up about everything.
Baili Hongzhuang had always been the person Xia Zhiqing trusted the most, and besides, Baili Hongzhuang already knew her thoughts, so there was no need to hide anything.
"Today, Senior Brother Ji came to say hello to me and wanted to be friends."
Baili Hongzhuang nodded and gazed at Xia Zhiqing. In her heart, she already had some guesses.
"I know that Senior Brother Ji has feelings for you, but in that situation, Junyu didn't react at all. He seemed completely unconcerned, as if he didn't care about this matter."
Xia Zhiqing furrowed her brows, feeling uncomfortable as she recalled what happened during the day.
"And what kind of reaction do you think Bai Junyu should have?" Baili Hongzhuang didn't immediately answer but instead asked.
Hearing that, Xia Zhiqing was taken aback for a moment and hesitated before speaking, "At least... at least he should show some reluctance."
Baili Hongzhuang sighed softly. Both Bai Junyu and Xia Zhiqing were too stubborn.
They cared deeply in their hearts, but they pretended to be completely indifferent on the surface.
"If Bai Junyu really acted like that, then the two of you wouldn't have been in this standoff for so long."
Xia Zhiqing looked at Baili Hongzhuang in confusion, not understanding the meaning behind her words.
"Didn't you also feel reluctant when you left with Ji Wenshu? Weren't you unhappy inside?" Baili Hongzhuang asked.
Xia Zhiqing nodded. Naturally, she was reluctant.
Although Ji Wenshu should be a good person, and a very attractive man at that, her heart belonged only to Bai Junyu. There was simply no room for anyone else.
So, no matter how outstanding Ji Wenshu might be, he meant nothing to her.
After all, once you fall in love with someone, you always think they are the best in every way.
Seeing Xia Zhiqing's obvious response, Baili Hongzhuang chuckled lightly. "But, when you left with Ji Wenshu, you were happily engaged in conversation. I couldn't see any signs of unhappiness."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xia Zhiqing was momentarily stunned, staring blankly at Baili Hongzhuang.
"If that's the case, why is it impossible for Bai Junyu to feel extremely reluctant in his heart while pretending to be nonchalant on the surface?"
