Back at De L'amour, Lin Hui did not stay much longer.
It had taken several assurances before Yue Ling finally stopped studying him as though she expected to find an injury he had hidden from her.
"I'm fine, Boss."
Yue Ling's bluish-green eyes remained fixed on him.
Lin Hui gave her another reassuring smile.
"Really."
Beside her, Liu Shan folded his arms across his chest. His expression made it clear that he was not nearly as convinced.
Lin Hui noticed and sighed.
"Stop looking at me like that."
"Like what?"
"Like you're planning to find Madam Qin and accidentally destroy her entire family history."
Liu Shan scoffed.
"I wasn't."
A pause.
"Yet."
Lin Hui shook his head.
Yue Ling's lips twitched faintly, but the coldness in her eyes remained. She still disliked what had happened.
The thought of someone standing in public and reducing one of her people to his background and supposed social standing left a bitter taste in her mouth.
