Su Qing stared for a long time at the injury on her waist.
Then, he spoke.
"So this is why you wouldn't let me take off your clothes?"
As his voice fell, the room went silent.
Su Ye felt a little awkward, but still spoke in a low voice.
"Um, let's just win the bid for the Mermaid Pearl first."
Perhaps it was just her nature, but she was never one to show her wounds and ask for sympathy.
It wasn't that she couldn't, she just felt it was unnecessary.
A wound will heal with time; telling someone else wouldn't make it heal any faster.
'Though, a certain someone seemed… to have a real problem with her keeping quiet about it.'
Su Qing's deep eyes gazed at her, the smile at the corners of his lips gradually fading.
After a long moment, he finally spoke.
"Win the bid."
Even as he spoke, his grip on her hand grew tighter and tighter.
At last, Fei Chen, who had been silent in the room, lowered his head and answered.
"Yes."
