Devoured (1)

Inside the bedchamber.

Bai Lu and Jing Chu was walking in circles as they bite their nails. It had been almost an hour since their young miss has left the chamber with a dark look on her face after having spoken with Shen Mo.

Jing Chu turned to Shen Mo who was silently standing on the side and said, "What did you exactly tell our young miss? Where did she go?"

Shen Mo stared at her for a second before averting his eyes away. He was guilty, alright. He knew he shouldn't tell Lin Xiaofei the truth too soon but he was scared stiff at the way she was staring at him when she was interrogating him.

He simply just couldn't lie to her. Especially, when he already knew what she was capable of making him do.

Scratching the back of his neck, he said, "I didn't say anything though." Playing innocent was the only thing he could do now.
