Xinyue did a lot of thinking and couldn't figure it out by himself. He had no clue why Ruiling was so furious at his confession.
Mrs. Zhang and Cheng Mei saw him in deep thought with his eyes closed. His brows were moving up and down.
Mrs. Zhang asked, "What are you thinking, Xinyue? Is it about your mission?"
Xinyue had received a new mission to dig information about a most influential but corrupt politician who was somehow getting more bank balance than his job entailed.
"I prefer thinking about the mission which is way simpler than figuring out a woman," he sneered.
"You mean to say women are more difficult to decipher?" She glared at him. "Preposterous!"
"Yes, yes!" Lihua also came in who was way too curious to know what went between Ruiling and him. She did ask Ruiling, but she was so angry that she had shut herself in the room.
They beamed. "Lihua, dear."
She hugged her Aunt and mother. Cheng Mei lovingly patted her head.
