Viscount Li hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking, "What if I say... it's because I like you?"
"Ah?" Tong Mo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
How could he like her?
Seeing the little girl seemingly frightened, Viscount Li immediately realized he might have been too hasty, so he subtly reined in the emotion in his eyes and casually said while touching the steering wheel, "I was just joking with you, no need to take it seriously."
"So that's it..." Tong Mo instantly breathed a sigh of relief, yet she felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
But as to what exactly she was losing out on, Tong Mo wasn't clear.
"Mhm." Viscount Li nodded indifferently.
As his word fell, Tong Mo stopped talking as well.
The atmosphere in the car gradually grew tenser.
Tong Mo inexplicably felt restless.
So, she licked her lips and started looking for a topic, "Um... Uncle, do you know, I lied today."
