Sheng Qianxia panicked and gave him a knee.
She quickly realized.
He bent down to her, but only to adjust a strand of her hair…
She couldn't help but feel awkwardly frozen—
She had almost thought that he was going to here…
The awkward pain made him unconsciously stoop.
Gong Beiyao's face turned shades of ghostly pale.
He let out a scornful chuckle, "What a unique way of repaying me! I'll remember this."
Sheng Qianxia's words of apology almost reached her lips then took a turn.
"You're no gentleman yourself!"
In her heart, she added: He took advantage of the situation to speak harshly and demonstratively.
"What did you say!?" he looked at her coldly.
She quickly said the right thing, "What I meant was, I will surely repay your kindness."
"Repay? We'll see about that," he glanced at her meaningfully.
She felt his malicious misinterpretation of her words.
Sheng Qianxia's face turned red with embarrassment, "Can't you think of something decent?"
