Her beast transformation was hidden, but not gone. He could tell with a simple scan of his spiritual power.
Chi Li looked at her seriously, his arms crossed. A hint of displeasure colored his beautiful, molten gold eyes. "You should have trusted me. I wouldn't have revealed this, although..."
'Although he wasn't her mate.'
'But in his heart, he'd always considered himself one of the people closest to her. He didn't like her keeping secrets from him. It was disheartening.'
"You never asked, though." An Jin finished dressing, then tilted her head and looked at him with her clear eyes, her voice laced with confusion.
Chi Li blinked, momentarily stunned, then broke into a smile. He sat down in the wooden chair by the bed, crossing one leg over the other. "Fine, then. I'm asking you now. What's going on? I might have just stumbled upon a secret."
"It's just as you saw. I'm undergoing a beast transformation. It started after I ate the Beast God Fruit."
