"What is this?" Bei Tianyou strode over and grabbed the wine glass.
Inside the wine glass, a pale red flower was emitting a faint, delicate fragrance.
Baili Xia was startled. She hadn't expected the flower she had casually brought back would catch his attention.
She was inwardly regretting it immensely. If she had known, she would have hidden it properly last night.
In truth, she didn't regret bringing the flower back.
She only regretted not concealing it better.
"I… I saw it in the Bei Family's backyard. I thought this type of camellia looked particularly beautiful, so… I picked one to bring back."
Her cheeks turned lightly red. She still wasn't used to lying in front of others, especially to someone she shouldn't lie to.
She wasn't even sure if she could pull it off—her heart was pounding nervously.
Bei Tianyou simply stared at the flower in the glass, lost in thought.
Baili Xia fixated on his expressionless face, completely unable to guess what he was thinking.
