章 277: Explanation

Lu Yifeng was caught off-guard when he heard what his daughter said. His ears were not playing with him, right? Did she really say 'crush'? He knew what that meant and he could only hope that it was not what he thought it was.

As if realizing that she said out her thoughts, Lu Xingyan quickly covered her mouth. She looked at her dad with wide eyes.

"What do you mean by 'crush', Xing'er?" More importantly, he wanted to know who that person was.

Lu Xingyan tried to rack her brain for an excuse but none came up. She panicked.

"What I mean is that I crashed into someone earlier," she blurted out, and realizing what she said, she couldn't help but praise her smart mouth. She quickly turned her face away from her father just so he wouldn't be able to catch her nose twitch when she lied. One should know their own weakness and she did. "There's this gardener earlier that showed me how to properly remove the thorns from the roses."
