Xu Yan's expression darkened; naturally, he knew what he was doing. He brushed off Lin Huanhuan's hand.
"I know what you're up to, step aside."
He was more aware than ever of his actions. As for Lin Huanhuan, in reality, she was the one lacking clarity.
"So, what about you? Do you know what you're doing?"
Lin Huanhuan had always had the gaze of a young lady oblivious to worldly affairs, with words like innocent, kindhearted, and academic achiever frequently associated with her.
But being in that circle for so long without any craftiness? Xu Yan didn't buy it at all.
As for whether others believed it or not, that didn't really matter.
"Of course, I know. I'm here to watch over you. Don't worry; do whatever you want. I even brought you a lot of things I know you'll enjoy."
Lin Huanhuan's tone eased, and she spoke slowly.
The smile at the corner of her mouth never ceased.
But there was no acceptance. One minute passed, then two, then five, and still no sign of acceptance.
