Capítulo 296: Learning One's Identity 6

When Qi Qingyao saw the conflicting emotions on the man's face, she realized that she had been underestimated, which was why the man was so shocked that his identity had been revealed. Did men really think that all women were dumb? Or was the idea of her falling to men's feet and being utterly smitten a more accurate representation of his image of her?

Qi Qingyao put her hands to her cheeks. Purposefully feigning a cute smile, she said, "Since you're the Head Grand Secretariat, you definitely have the ability to protect yourself. Based on the corpse collector whom you found recently and the black-clothed person you met at the dead of night, it means that you have manpower in Qingzhou City, and that you have authority. So there's no need for you to put up with the excuse of using me as your shield anymore." 

Jiang Yeqian was rendered even more dumbfounded with these few words.
