Qiu Xi's pupils dilated, her gaze vacant as she looked ahead. It was unclear if she was looking at Lin Fan or Lan Zhengqing; in any case, her eyes were fixed forward.
And standing before Qiu Xi were Lan Zhengqing and Lin Fan.
Lan Zhengqing appeared self-satisfied, with an arrogant, smug expression, convinced that Qiu Xi would certainly succumb to his manipulation.
Lin Fan, however, was downcast and dispirited, his heart pounding anxiously as he carefully watched Qiu Xi, unsure of her choice.
Just as the two awaited Qiu Xi's answer.
Qiu Xi sighed deeply.
On her face appeared a blush as charming as the evening glow, making her entire face resemble a ripe red apple, tempting one to take a bite.
It worked!
Lan Zhengqing shouted in his heart, believing that this blush represented Qiu Xi's shyness. Surely, she felt bashful because he acknowledged her as his woman.
Heh, women are so easy to deceive!
A few sweet words and she's completely taken in.
