Lu Xiao never expected Ares to use a phrase like "teach someone a lesson," and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Ares was really changing for the better. Compared to a few months ago, he seemed more at ease and more alive to her.
He was more like a whole person, someone with a full range of emotions who wasn't afraid to express them. She thought this Ares was wonderful.
Seeing Lu Xiao laughing so happily and clearly not taking Li Hua'an's garbage to heart, the knot of worry in Ares's chest finally loosened. Infected by her smile, his own lips curved upwards, a hint of amusement glinting in his eyes.
However, Lu Xiao had guessed right.
After her call with Lu Xiao ended, Li Hua'an calmed down and realized she had lost her composure. She was supposed to be asking for a favor, so how had she managed to offend Lu Xiao after just a few sentences?
But when she calmed down and tried to contact Lu Xiao again, she discovered the call wouldn't go through.
