The maid mysteriously made her statement and swiftly turned towards the backyard.
Jian Yufei tightly grasped the teacup in her hand, the burning heat radiating from it reddened her palm, an occurance which she hardly felt happening.
Her heart was in upheaval, her peace of mind disrupted.
What on earth had happened between her and Ruan Tianling in the past?
As Ruan Tianling descended from the stairs, Jian Yufei was still in a daze.
"What's wrong?" He sat beside her, inquiring softly.
Upon regaining her bearings, Jian Yufei turned her head towards him, managing a faint smile, "Nothing, how is your mother's health?"
"Nothing serious, just a headache. Come on, let's go see her." He took the cup from her hand, instantly noticing the redness on her palm caused by the heat.
Immediately grabbing her hand, he blew on it gently, rebuking her, "Didn't you realize the cup was burning you?"
Jian Yufei paused for a moment, then dismissed it with a chuckle, "It's not that hot."
