Lu Chao was just about to speak more, but a cough interrupted him. He subconsciously trembled, then stiffly turned to look at Xiang Huai, who usually stayed in the darker corners.
The courage he had just built up instantly deflated like a balloon pricked with a needle.
Xue Xi stared at him, though, and ordered, "Speak."
The girl's aura was so strong that it made him gulp.
He suddenly felt that speaking up was the wrong choice. He was now stuck between two big shots, trembling in fear. After a long silence, he finally spoke only the things that could be revealed. "Anyway, Boss has no ill intentions toward you."
After saying this, he lowered his head and ran toward the rear of the provision store, afraid that Xiang Huai would chide him. "I-I'll go boil some water to drink!"
Xue Xi was rooted in the same spot expressionlessly.
Lu Chao's words made her feel very lost suddenly.
