Bab 601: Chapter 601 Lies

Lin Ruoyun clearly had not anticipated that Ye Qingning would respond in this manner. She was momentarily stunned, then observed Ye Qingning's expression closely, trying to discern the truth.

Complex emotions flickered in Lin Ruoyun's eyes, a mix of surprise and deep uncertainty. "You have a boyfriend? Is this true? Why haven't I heard about it before?"

Ye Qingning realized that her "lie" had already been uttered, and she could only press on brazenly.

"Yes, Auntie, actually it's a recent development. We've both been so busy, we haven't had the chance to tell everyone yet." She strived to make her voice sound calm and natural, but her emotions were tumultuous.

Lin Ruoyun's gaze sharpened, sweeping over Ye Qingning's face like a searchlight, as if trying to detect the truth from her expression.

Ye Qingning felt an unprecedented pressure, her heartbeat quickened, and her palms started to sweat.
