Yun Shifei didn't expect Cheng Lie to even dig this deep.
She chuckled lightly: "Yeah, that's what he said. He even threatened me. Good thing you're amazing, Cheng Lie. So smart to find all this out, otherwise I'd be scared to death."
Finally, the truth had been spoken.
But Cheng Lie didn't feel any joy from her compliments. Instead, his face turned cold, clearly upset.
Yun Shifei's praises were meant to prevent Cheng Lie from realizing she'd kept him in the dark, hoping to avoid his anger. Yet, after she finished talking, there was a brief silence—no reply from him.
She instantly realized: Oh no, he's definitely mad now.
To be honest, she was quite afraid of Cheng Lie being angry. He rarely got angry, but when he did, it felt extremely serious and intimidating.
"Cheng Lie, are you mad?" She cautiously asked.
"You know I'm mad?" Cheng Lie shot back with a question.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kept it from you…"
