"You..." His voice was strained. "In your world... you've never had a lover, have you?"
Cui Lingyao: "..."
She was speechless for a moment. Seeing the sudden change in his eyes, she said in exasperation, "No!"
"Is that so?" Xie Jinbai stared at her intently. "If you didn't, why did you hesitate?"
"..." Cui Lingyao took a deep breath, suppressing her irritation. Patiently, she explained, "I just find it frustrating. How unscrupulous must I seem in your eyes for you to think I could be your wife so nonchalantly while my heart belonged to someone else?"
