Qin Sheng, observing Qin Churou's reaction, immediately grasped that the three thugs tonight were somehow connected to her.

With a faint smile, Qin Sheng said, "Isn't it perfectly natural for me to return home?"

Qin Sheng, unwilling to continue the charade, leaned in slightly and whispered, "Qin Churou, I'm fine. Surprised, aren't you?"

Cold sweat began to bead on Qin Churou's forehead as she forced a stiff smile, "Sister, I don't know what you're talking about."

"You know very well what you've done."
