Bab 115: Sensitive

Li Xueyue didn't even have to contemplate her next move. Zheng Leiyu was putty in her hands and she knew it. 

"May I ask for your name?" Li Xueyue quietly asked, shuffling her feet and wrying her fingers together. She was mirroring Bai Tianai's current demeanor, but Li Xueyue knew she played it better than her older sister. Li Xueyue was purposely using Bai Tianai's tricks against her.

Zheng Leiyu vigorously nodded his head. "I apologize, I didn't properly introduce myself. Silly me." He loudly laughed, stepping forward with a friendly smile, eager to claim his reward for defending her.

"My name is Zheng Leiyu, I am Earl Zheng's [1] oldest son. I'm sure your father has met him before, he's only two titles below the Duke." 

Li Xueyue smiled a bit, brushing strands of her hair behind her ears. She nearly wanted to laugh at how easy this was for her. She didn't even have to waste her breath for this victory.
