Win With One Hand

Duchess Wang Qixing felt relieved that this restaurant was located in a quiet street, away from wandering eyes. Moreover, the large Li carriage, which had stopped at the entrance had blocked most of the view of the commotion from the outside. If anyone were to see the tussle between Li Xueyue and Wen Jinkai before the former dashed into the arms of another man, her reputation would be ruined.

Duchess Wang Qixing intently stared at Yu Zhen. His behavior reminded her so much of her younger days with Duke Li Shenyang. He, too, was willing to sacrifice everything to have her in the end, whilst forgetting he had a reputation to maintain. 

"Commander Wen," Duchess Wang Qixing addressed in a neutral tone that didn't reveal any of her thoughts and emotions. "Our Xueyue has returned her pendant to you, it's time that you return hers back to us."
