Damn hell!! Madam Guo'an cursed in her heart.
Yet, as Madam Guo'an recalled the humiliating spectacle at the palace banquet last time, which had kept her indoors for over half a month, an inexplicable unease washed over her upon encountering Qiao Mu now.
This girl was undeniably peculiar, and she couldn't muster the courage to confront her head-on again.
"Qiao Mu, I-I'm warning you!" Madam Guo'an quivered inwardly and attempted to assert herself. "You, put him down immediately. Let's part ways. Just go away, and I'll pretend I've never seen you… Aiyo."
Before Madam Guo'an could complete her sentence, Qiao Mu's sudden advance startled her, prompting her to hastily retreat a few steps.
"Why are you so shameless?" Qiao Mu regarded her dispassionately and remarked, "Fifth Young Sir Qin doesn't appear to have any fondness for you. Why persist in bothering him?"
