章 473: For a Woman

"Jihan, what are you doing?"

The two immediately stopped moving after Xu Ke's arrival. "Why are you— "

"She tried to stab me." Xu Jihan immediately said.

"Using her own dagger?"

He nodded.

Lyca, on the other hand, just maintained her silence. She stared at Xu Ke, wondering why his aura seemed to change. Was he angry? Was it because of Xu Jihan? No, he was already angry when he came inside. Then perhaps… it was because of what was happening outside?

"Come with me," Xu Ke gestured Xu Jihan to go out. Then he gave Lyca a meaningful glance before turning away, the door once again closing behind him.

"You were careless," Xu Ke said just as they arrived in his office. "You wanted to make it seem like she was the one who hurt you, but you actually used a gas that could weaken her. Are you that desperate to make me hate her?"
