He bit out the words "the expert from abroad" with particular clarity, and Jiang Nuan's eyelids kept twitching as she watched him warily, her hands on either side clenching into tight fists.
She was absolutely terrified of him. After all these years by his side, she didn't dare claim to understand what this man thought, but at least she had learned to read his expressions.
