"I had no choice," he explained.
Pei Heyan pinched her face, his eyes filled with indulgence, and he did not pursue the matter further.
Wen Tang rubbed her cheek, where vivid red fingerprints remained.
Pei Heyan adjusted his sitting position and asked, "Was it really just that Lu Minghao had an emergency yesterday and took you away by mistake?"
"Or," he looked at Wen Tang, his eyes squinting slightly, "was there another reason?"
This pressure made Wen Tang's heartbeat accelerate rapidly.
Even though she had been by Pei Heyan's side for many years, she still invariably feared the inherent coldness in him.
"Yes, I lied. That was just an excuse for Miss Lu," Wen Tang blurted out and then fell silent.
"Go on," Pei Heyan prompted with a slight movement of his lips.
"Where did you go, what did you do, what did you talk about?"
Wen Tang thought for a moment, "Nothing much, just casually asked about his relationship with Miss Lu."
