He wouldn't dare touch her.
After all, sweet words didn't always equate to real interest.
Especially considering her age—something shrouded in secrecy. The way she casually addressed Charlotte as "Xiao Lingling" without rebuke suggested that Stussy's true age was not what she appeared. It was strange, to say the least.
Mio curled his lips, saying no more.

"I have a guess or two." Mio shrugged.
