Yaen Chi glanced at her, his eyes flickered with an inscrutable depth.
"I heard that it was Chu Yao who was supposed to go out and fetch people, and you took up the task. Since you agreed, the affair should be handled smoothly. It can't be brushed off just as carelessness with a mess like this."
Yi Qinghuan raised her head in shock.
She didn't have time to hide the panic in her eyes.
Yaen Chi's lips still carried his signature smile, and his tone sounded casual.
But Yi Qinghuan suddenly felt as if she'd been seen through instantly.
