"Speak!" Mu Qinnian pressed his eyebrows tightly, giving a low scold.
"Uh..." Jin Jumo's slender fingers gripped the phone, "Today I went to the theater to audition for the leading lady in a play. The director said there was a scene in the script where the leading lady gets slapped, and wanted me and other actors to improvise to see if I'm really suited for the role. Because the actor got too involved in the performance, they didn't control their strength well when slapping me, and that's how it happened."
Jin Jumo spoke very calmly, every line on her face, even every eyelash, exuded sincerity, showing no signs of lying or making up stories.
Mu Qinnian stared deeply at her face, his thin lips pressed tightly, and after she finished speaking, he remained silent, just looking at her.
Jin Jumo calmly raised her eyes to look at him, her peach blossom eyes without a hint of evasion or unnaturalness.
