There was a standoff for a few seconds.

Looking at the woman's noticeably sharper chin and the added pallor on her originally rosy cheeks, Xing Liehuo's heart, which had been hard for a lifetime, actually softened a bit.

He sighed.

After all, he was a man of extraordinary willpower. He was excited, but no matter what, he had to keep his pride. His sharp black eyes stared directly at her, yet his fingers gently caressed her cheek, "Lian Qiao, I really want to smack you!"

A complex emotion flickered in the depths of her eyes, and Lian Qiao's fingers tightened for a few seconds before regaining composure. She curved her lips, curved them more, until a sickeningly sweet smile that didn't quite reach her eyes formed: "Hey! Xing Liehuo, did I owe you money in my past life that I didn't pay back? Why do you come back just to curse me?"

Fine, the bickering started again.
