When Shi Aoju came back just now, she was so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet, afraid that he would see her.
"Look at how scared you are." Qi Jingren observed her reaction from the mirror, "The Shi Family is heavily guarded; you probably can't get out usually, right?"
"Yeah." Su Jiuyi said, "The last two times I went out with Shi Aoju."
"He's also worried about your safety, especially after what happened." Qi Jingren said.
Su Jiuyi was startled, "You know?"
Her reaction left Qi Jingren a bit puzzled, "Haven't I always known about the incident where you were almost shot?"
So that's what she was talking about...
Su Jiuyi breathed a sigh of relief, she thought it was about that night. After all, such things, even with close friends, are embarrassing to talk about.
"Wait a minute." Su Jiuyi thought of something, "How am I going to get back later? If Shi Aoju finds out I snuck out, he'll use it as an excuse to make me do all the dirty and heavy work..."
