"You don't really hate Lingling… do you?"
Yanmei averted her gaze from Xuanyan, clearly unwilling to answer his question. "Since when is that any of your business?"
But Xuanyan wasn't about to back down. "Actually it does," he said. "Lingling is my wife now. Her problems and her family relationships concern me too."
He paused for a moment before continuing. "And honestly… it doesn't look like you truly hate her. To me it feels more like some misunderstanding between the two of you."
Yanmei chuckled lightly, covering her mouth when she heard Xuanyan's reasoning. "You think I'm your sweet, dumb Lingling who would fall for those smooth words?" she said with faint amusement. "Nice try by the way." It was obvious she was trying to end the conversation there.
But Xuanyan only looked more amused. "You're right," he said. "Your life decisions have nothing to do with me, and neither does your relationship with Lingling."
