"So, you won't tie me up and send me to Tianlan Courtyard, right?" she asked with a deliberately pained expression.
He couldn't help but laugh: "Of course not. Even if... I still wouldn't." He changed his words midway, but Changtian speculated that he meant even if Qi Zai really ate the jade, he would not send Ning Xiaoxian to Tianlan Courtyard.
