Yang Lihui stood up, feeling somewhat uneasy. "Why has Aye come? Is he here for Miss Ye?" she asked. "But shouldn't you two keep some distance now? If Mulan finds out, I'm worried she won't be able to handle it and will make a scene again."
She was asking a question to which she already knew the answer. At the same time, her words served as a reminder to Xiao Linye that he and Ye Yuning were history, and now, Qi Mulan was the most important person in his world.
Xiao Linye's eyes darkened, a profound iciness, like shards of ice, within them.
Yang Lihui felt a chill creep down her spine under his gaze. After all, Xiao Linye was of a younger generation. Even though she was Mulan's stepmother, an elder, he was now staring at her in such a manner. Yang Lihui felt deeply uncomfortable, but because it was Xiao Linye, she didn't dare retort too much.
Xiao Linye lit a cigarette and took a drag. "There are some things Mulan doesn't know. Surely your Qi Family isn't also in the dark?"
