He forcefully swallowed the stifling breath in his chest, his hawk-like gaze swept past Chu Xi as he said to Jiang Chenyue, "I did indeed invite a friend over for dinner tonight; an outsider being present wouldn't be appropriate..."
What is this child saying, knowing full well that Chu Xi is not an outsider, she's his... sister. Jiang Chenyue slightly frowned, her beauty was regal and elegant, defying the ravages of time. She looked at Qin Jun in confusion, unable to understand what he really meant, "But I've already asked Xi to stay home for dinner."
"She can come over anytime, but I rarely get the chance to invite this friend over. I don't want her staying here and ruining my friend's appetite!"
How downright rude!
Chu Xi pouted, almost fuming with rage.
Jiang Chenyue gave him a reproachful glare, "Talk properly."
Chu Xi got even angrier.
Qin Jun humiliated her this way, and Jiang Chenyue didn't even bother to scold him. Is she even her biological daughter?!
