"Don't try to play the victim with me. We've been together for this long; what would be the point if I didn't know you by now?"
Chen Yuan didn't let up on his questioning just because she looked like she was on the verge of tears.
Seeing she couldn't bluff her way out of it, Jiangg Yao pouted and looked away.

"Is that what I meant when we talked in Tokyo? Do you think your sister would take it the same way coming from you as it would coming from me? I was just in the shower for a little while—"
"I didn't," Jiangg Yao argued.
"You didn't what?"
"I didn't make anything up. I told the absolute truth. Or what, are you planning to back out of the engagement?"
"Of course not. I'm a man of my word. Once this is all over, I'll get it done immediately."
