Yet, because he completely fell into the moment, he subsequently relaxed his restraint over Ji Xinhe. Taking this opportunity, Ji Xinhe turned the tables, for the first time asserting a dominant demeanor in front of him.
"Why did Chen Yining come to your mansion?" Ji Xinhe asked quietly.
She abruptly distanced herself. He felt a sudden emptiness in both his heart and body, much to his displeasure as this dainty woman seemed terribly concerned about this insignificant matter.
"How should I know her intentions?" Marquis Mu Houchu clearly had no interest in talking about Chen Yining.
Ji Xinhe, having anticipated this response, slightly uncovered his waistband with a playful flick of her slender hand, and teasingly asked again, "Why did she come to your mansion?"
Marquis Mu Houchu suddenly felt a rush to his head, as if it was flushed...
"She wants to marry in, and willing to be a concubine. That's why she came to see me." Marquis Mu Houchu barely managed to say, his voice hoarse.
