The night was cool as water, and the blue bricks on the ground also exuded an icy chill. Cheng Lizi lay on the cold blue bricks and upon seeing Yueyao approaching with her group, her face immediately turned pale.
In Cheng Lizi's mind, two words flashed: "It's over." It would have been fine if Ma Peng had been helping her, or anything really. Unfortunately, Ma Peng was so far from her that framing him was impossible.
Yueyao was somewhat surprised by Ma Peng's behavior. He was so cautious, yet in her previous life, she had fallen right into the trap. What Yueyao didn't know was that Ma Teng had no defenses at all. He just believed in keeping a clear separation between men and women. Even though Granny Liu had warned him several times that Cheng Lizi had ulterior motives, he had seen Cheng Lizi conduct herself appropriately and had not taken Granny Liu's warnings to heart. This was the very reason Granny Liu was extremely anxious and making a desperate move.
