Xi Jiu responded with a "sure" and then turned around, leaving with Nie Heng.
By the river, only Cheng Jinyan, Ruan Munan, and Ruan Qi, Wang Yue were left.
Ruan Qi watched Xi Jiu's gradually receding figure, and after a moment, turned her head and looked at Wang Yue with a meaningful glance.
"Wang Ergou, you did that on purpose, didn't you? Why did you say those things in front of Jiujiu?"
Wang Yue shivered under Ruan Qi's gaze, stiffened his neck, and stubbornly said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand. I was just honestly speaking my mind. You're so young; you should have more choices. That Xi… Master Xi is too old."
"What's wrong with being older?" Ruan Qi didn't like people commenting on Xi Jiu's age, her slender brows furrowed, "Older means being more caring. Besides, Jiujiu is only twenty-eight this year, not even thirty yet, how is that old?"
Wang Yue: "He is a full seven years older than you!"
