Meanwhile, Rong Kai snapped back to his senses from the faint fragrance, and the red glow in his eyes immediately sharpened into slit pupils.
'How dare this woman touch me!'
Rage burned within Rong Kai.
But he didn't react immediately.
Instead, he chose to quietly observe the woman across from him, contemplating his next move.
...
Inside the cave, Chu Jing casually sat on a stone bed, then looked at Rong Kai as he entered and smiled.
"Don't be so hostile. I'm sure you've noticed I've been a bit different these last few days."
Her eyes held a trace of sincerity.
A moment ago, she had been considering how to break the stalemate with Rong Kai.
After weighing her options, she decided to come clean.
'It's better to lay everything out in the open than to keep second-guessing each other.'
Rong Kai said nothing, just stared at her quietly.
But that didn't stop Chu Jing. She was already prepared.
