Fu Qingli was filled with a complex of emotions there and then. As if not enough, the hint of taunt in Shen Xi's fleeting glance was a tight slap on his face.
He looked to his younger brothers and aunt, letting out a sigh of relief as the other family members were not the least bit suspicious of her true identity.
Well, he should just go with it since Shen Xi had no intentions of letting them know.
Shen Xi fearlessly met his gaze. The man who usually had a bone to pick and looked down on her like a commanding king looked away.
She was right.
He was shying away from her.
Fu Qingli could not look her in the eye, nor did he unleash his fury and attack on Shen Xi. Instead, he simply nodded and got up to move aside.
Fu Junqiu introduced Shen Xi to Fu Qingli without catching on to the stormy stare down between the two.
