As for this little girl?
Don't overthink it. She was just teasing you.
She knows we used to be Dao Companions.
So she wanted to help me test you.
To see if you still have feelings for me.
There are absolutely no romantic feelings between her and me.
We're not getting together at all.
I'm not that charming.
Not at my age, to make a young, beautiful girl like her fall for me.
So, now that you know the truth, do you still want to get back together with me?"
Zhao Xin froze.
But then she looked at the expressions on Xu Lei's granddaughter and her master and immediately understood everything.
"Oh, you two."
She put her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and glared with her beautiful eyes. "Master and disciple, ganging up to trick me!"
Of course, she was only pretending to be angry.
Soon, she was back at Xu Lei's side.
She threw herself back into his arms, hugging him.
Her slender arms wrapped around him tightly.
Her cheek pressed against his.
