Andrew had no idea—in fact, besides the president and his wife, no one knew—that apart from "pretending to have a tense relationship," the two had made an agreement: they needed to maintain a distance from each other and each keep some "secrets only they knew."
This meant there had to be some important things that only the president knew and could not tell Lady Yi Lian. Likewise, there must be other important matters that only Lady Yi Lian knew and couldn't tell the president.
It was as if they were guarding against someone noticing when all the important information was exchanged!
Pretending to have a tense relationship also seemed to be to lower someone's guard.
"Are you saying that child Andrew...is no ordinary mage?"
Lady Yi Lian was shocked.
