'It would have been better not to say anything.'
'Xiaorui, you'll understand, right?'
"See? You've angered your little aunt to the point of speechlessness," Ren Qunfang said, pinching the bridge of her nose.
Xue Rui's expression darkened. 'His little aunt went quiet?'
"He gets what he wants and still plays the victim," Xue Yao chimed in.
Ren Qunfang frowned. "Go downstairs and eat. This isn't for kids to see."
Lin Ruoxi had a sudden realization. 'So this is why Aunt Ren is angry?'
Lin Ruoxi quickly explained, "Auntie, I was the one who snuck into Xue Rui's room last night."
Xue Rui nodded emphatically. "Did you hear that? She admitted it herself."
"Xixi, don't be afraid of him. Just tell Auntie the truth. I've got your back," Ren Qunfang said to Lin Ruoxi with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi glanced timidly at everyone, then stammered, "The truth is…"
Everyone instantly perked up their ears, eager to hear the "truth of the incident."
"I… I'm a pervert," Lin Ruoxi said weakly.
