Chapter 114: The Illegitimate Child

I heard some noise and then saw Xin Rui, lively and jumping about in the crowd, waving at me.

I waved back at her, and with joy, she came over to my side, took my hand, and chatted me up with a beaming smile while Gu Tingshen waited for me not far away.

Xin Rui suggested we exchange contact information, saying she'd repay me after we disembarked. I thought it over and didn't refuse, but I didn't expect that as soon as I put away my phone and turned to leave, something small and hard was suddenly pressed into the palm of my hand.

My body tensed, and I looked at Xin Rui in astonishment. The young girl winked at me, and I discreetly clenched the item tightly.

My palm was covered in cold sweat. Noticing something was off with my complexion, Gu Tingshen leaned in and asked, "What's the matter, feeling unwell?"

"No, just a bit too tired," I replied, forcing a smile.

I had no idea who Xin Rui really was, but I knew she was certainly more than just some dame from the scene.
