"Oh?" A low, amused voice resounded in the dining room. "And what exactly is she blushing about?"
Both women stiffened. Yue Ning's hand, which had been fiddling with her teacup, went still.
Slowly, she turned, only to see Huo Feng leaning casually against the doorway, wristwatch glinting under the morning light. His gaze, however, was anything but casual as it was fixed solely on her, carrying a hint of mischief.
Her heart gave a betraying thump. "I thought you went to the office." She whispered, but loud enough for him to hear.
He arched a brow, clearly savoring her unease. "I did. But I forgot something, so I came back." He paused.
"Who knew I'd stumble upon such… scenery?" His lips curved faintly, his voice teasing but threaded with something heavier.
Yue Ning pressed her lips together, heat creeping up her neck. Huo Yan had already embarrassed her once, and now this man had caught her red-handed in that same state.
