Xia Xiyan’s heart skipped a beat, trembling under the sharp gaze of Ou Jue.
Feeling extrely guilty, she quickly picked up Ou Xiaoluo and walked in. "Hey, hey, hey, what are you staring at? Luoluo can’t be left alone, his foot is still injured!"
Although it had recovered enough for him to walk around recently, the old injury had flared up again these past few days.
Now he was walking with a noticeable limp!
Hearing what Xiyan said, Ou Xiaoluo let out a light cough.
God knows his "old injury flaring up again" was a total sham... He and his brother were just scheming together to trick her!
In fact, his foot under the thick bandages was perfectly fine, not a single issue.
Ou Jue turned around and gave Xiyan a deep, piercing look.
It felt as though ti stood still...
Xiyan could feel cold sweat beading on her forehead.
Oh my god, what in the world is he looking at?
Finally, Ou Jue shifted his gaze away from her, took Luoluo from her arms, and placed the little guy on the sofa.
Phew...
Xiyan sneaked a glance at the bathroom.
Ou Jue leaned casually against the sofa, his hand draped lazily on the armrest. "Did you have guests over?"
Her little head shook like a rattling drum. "Nope, not at all."
"Xia Xiyan," Ou Jue’s face grew darker, "you’d best not lie to ."
On the coffee table were two glasses of water, clear evidence soone had been here earlier.
Xiyan bit her bottom lip.
Clearly, there was nothing between her and Ou Jue.
So why did she increasingly feel like she was being "caught cheating"...? T^T
But given the situation, she had no choice but to steel herself and keep denying it. Agitated, she said, "You’re really weird! Barging into my house out of nowhere to interrogate and threaten —what, do I owe you or sothing?"
Ou Jue’s dark eyes remained fixed on her, unblinking. "People unconsciously raise their voices when they’re guilty."
"You..."
Suddenly, Ou Xiaoluo pointed at the glasses of water on the table and exclaid, "Wow, big sister, is this the water you prepared early just for and big brother?"
Huh? Oh, right!
No wonder Ou Jue had said those things earlier.
With his sharp observation skills, he must have noticed the flaw—those two glasses of water sitting on the table.
Howl, Luoluo was practically an angel, instantly saving Xiyan with his comnt.
She hastily nodded along with his words, enthusiastically playing along. "Yes, exactly! I poured it for you two right after hanging up the phone earlier. Co on, drink up."
The water had actually been poured when Zeyu had co over earlier.
Since neither she nor Zeyu had touched it and the cups were still clean, she might as well smoothly pretend the drinks were ant for Ou Jue and Luoluo.
Yes, she was downright brilliant!
Luoluo adorably said, "Then I won’t hold back~ I’m so thirsty!"
He then gulped it down noisily. After finishing, he let out a satisfied "ahh" and turned to look at Ou Jue. "Big brother, aren’t you going to drink?"
Ou Jue’s expression was indifferent. "I’m afraid it’s poisoned."
Xiyan’s eye twitched.
Where’s my knife?!
Glancing at the ti, it was already past eleven o’clock.
Xiyan suddenly thought about poor Zeyu, still hiding miserably in the bathroom...
She got up, planning to create a diversion and lure them away.
"Oh, by the way, there’s a forest park nearby. The weather’s so nice today, and since you’ve co all the way to see , why don’t we go for a stroll?"
Luoluo clapped his hands enthusiastically like a little sea lion. "Yes, yes, let’s go!"
"Alright then, let’s head out quickly."
As long as they stepped out of her ho, everything would be fine!
Ou Jue didn’t say much, leisurely standing up.
They were just about to walk out the door.
Suddenly, from inside the bathroom, there ca a loud clanging noise.
Ou Jue froze mid-step—
