Lin Changheng, enjoying the banter, instantly understood the Commandery Princess's meaning.
He couldn't help but glance at her in surprise. 'She really is sharp as a tack.'
"Brother Lin, you catch on so quickly. You're truly a genius. I'm deeply impressed."
Tantai Feiyue pursed her red lips and offered a smiling compliment. But Lin Changheng heard a teasing undertone. 'If I'm a "genius" for catching on so quickly, what does that make the person who gave me the hint in the first place?'
'In terms of wits, is she implying... she's one-upping me?!'
'This girl!'
Lin Changheng feigned anger and was about to do something—a small "punishment"—but Tantai Feiyue gracefully dodged back and was already out the door.
All that remained was the crisp sound of her laughter, like pearls scattering on a jade plate.
"Brother Lin, it was a pleasure speaking with you today. Let us meet again soon..."
