Whether Yue Ran said those words intentionally or unintentionally, she had helped him get rid of one of her suitors without much effort on her part.
Yue Ran was also happy to get rid of one of the three persistent male protagonists. Mu Chen was a really good partner in helping her do this deed!
She wanted to relax before the next part of the plot started, and having the three male protagonists hovering around her just wouldn't do the trick, especially when they clearly had no more will to fight.
Boring.
Sure enough, Mu Chen did not disappoint Yue Ran's expectations that were set for him. She only flashed an apologetic smile at Jiang Yi as he reluctantly left the room with a dejected back.
As for Jin Yao, Yue Ran doesn't even bother to give him a look.
There was an unspeakable pain in Jin Yao's heart, and he forced out a smile on his face before he stepped out of the room.
