Jiang Boya pressed his lips together and stayed silent.
"Let me put it this way. If you really are hiding something from me, I hope you can tell me the truth. That way, at least there's some order to things. Otherwise, when I do find out, I can't promise what the consequences will be."
Her gaze was clear and bright, Kang Li's expression calm and faint, her tone equally light, without the slightest hint of emotion.

"Our family and the Davis family have a bit of a conflict, but things haven't reached the breaking point. Your grandfather and I, just in case and not wanting to add pressure on you, chose not to tell you about it."
"Is Mr. Jiang worried that someone from the Davis family will kidnap me?"
"Yes."
"But outsiders don't know about my identity."
"There are a lot of people in the estate. You never know who might let something slip outside."
