Song Mingyue spoke with an air of great righteousness, but she dared not meet Ling Su's eyes, afraid she would see the hints of affection for Ling Xiao within them.
But such things were impossible to hide. Ling Su smiled sweetly and said, "You're so warm-hearted, Ming Yue. I can't thank you enough!"
Song Mingyue blushed slightly and said, "Sister, you're being too kind! Brother Ling did a great service for my Song Family. I'm just... just returning the favor."
It was a rather flimsy explanation, and Ling Su clearly didn't believe it was that simple. However, she didn't press the matter or tease her about it.
Even so, in Ling Xiao's eyes, his "Brother Song" and his sister were having some kind of passionate, illicit affair. 'They're exchanging flirtatious glances right in front of me! This is too much!'
