Though he knew he was popular with women, no woman had ever dared to stare at him so boldly and unabashedly, as if seeing through him… Dan Xiaoya saw his mischievous look and realized her own impropriety. Her surprise turned to disgust, and she disdainfully curled her mouth. She took a step back, increasing the distance between them…
Zhao Yeqing was surprised to find a hint of disdain in her smile. Disbelieving, he blinked, but her beautiful smile remained, the disdain at the corner of her mouth even more obvious. How dare she? What right did this little thief have to be arrogant in front of him?
Zhao Yeqing beckoned to Shan Xiaoya, making a gesture for her to come over. Shan Xiaoya smiled and pointed at herself, then at Zhao Yeqing, shaking her head and waving her hand. Zhao Yeqing’s face darkened. “Didn’t you see me calling you over?”
Shan Xiaoya’s smile disappeared, and she put her hands on her hips. “What right do you have to order me around? I’m not your servant girl. I won’t go!”
“I’ll say this one last time, come here.”
“I’ll tell you one last time. I. Will. Not. Go!”
“You…”
“I, how about me? I am who I am. Move aside, a good dog doesn’t block the way.
“She gestured with her head for Zhao Yeqing to move.
Zhao Yeqing had never seen such an audacious thief. The way she carried herself was as if she hadn’t done anything wrong. She extended her hand. “Hand it over!”
Shan Xiaoya was startled. Did he know she had stolen something from him? If he knew, he would have caught her at the inn. What was he asking for? Was he trying to rob her?
She looked Zhao Yeqing up and down and nodded. This deserted place was perfect for robbery. So that’s how it was…
Shan Xiaoya tightened her bag and looked at Zhao Yeqing warily. She was usually the one stealing from others. That was unthinkable. She cautiously took two steps back.
“What are you doing? Let me tell you, even though I’m a woman, I’m not easy to mess with. I advise you, walk too many night roads and you’ll eventually meet a ghost. Robbery isn’t an easy path.”
