Sweet Grapes

Knowing that Xiu Mei won't give up the question, he sighed in defeat and answered her in the end. 

"He's the man I was talking about before."

Her brows furrowed, "Which man?" 

"The man who talked me in accepting my Master's offer." 

The man who talked to him...? 

Ah! 

"The one you had a chat with on the roof?" Xiu Mei's eyes widened. That man was the same man he was talking about?!

But... but....

"I thought he was dead?" 

This time, Lu Chen was baffled by what his wife said, "Why did you think he was dead?"

He didn't remember saying anything like that before. 

Xiu Mei repeated his words on the part when he told hee that after Old Yang's death, his subordinates also followed after. 

Lu Chen almost laughed at her words. "I must have misspoken."
