Moreover, Xi Pinglian thought he had concealed everything very well.
But little did he know that he had quietly cast a glance at Qin Youbei, with a gaze erupting in endless coldness, akin to ice of a thousand years, carrying a strong killing intent.
From Qin Youbei's recent experiences to Xi Pinglian's words.
He guessed, Qin Youbei must have remembered everything and intended to tell her but ended up preempted by Xi Pinglian who knew first; to prevent Qin Youbei from spilling everything, Xi Pinglian hastened to accuse him, preemptively smearing Qin Youbei with a malicious charge, making him suspicious and resentful towards Qin Youbei.
Thus, disbelieving anything Qin Youbei said.
Clearly, his own indifference towards Qin Youbei in front of Xi Pinglian had convinced Xi Pinglian.
But it also convinced Qin Youbei.
He should have explained it to Qin Youbei, which would only take a few words; he believed that once explained, Qin Youbei would trust him too.
