Chapter 554: No Ifs, Ands, or Buts!

"Master Mu seems to be quite busy. Speaking of which, I have yet to meet your husband, Madam. However, with your exceptional beauty and intelligence, I believe your husband must also be a remarkable man." Yi Ling said with a smile.

Xin He smirked slightly, "He has been rather busy these past few days, leaving early in the mornings and coming home late at night. Today, he said he'd be coming home late again."

A subtly strange smile flickered in Yi Ling's eyes as her grin grew wider: "I see."

The horse carriage proceeded at a steady pace with Yi Ling casually conversing with Xin He - some chit-chat here, probing questions there. Ji Xin He truly felt that it was quite exhausting being around such a person.

Doesn't she get tired?

Xin He smiled and shook her head. Would someone blinded by lust and ambition feel weary? Especially someone as proud and conceited as she was.
