Chapter 106: Show off Love, Die Fast (34)
Li Qian also held a glass of champagne, clinking it against Ling Chuxia’s, and took an elegant sip before smiling and saying, "That’s right, didn’t I ask you to come with Senior Brother Shi? Why don’t I see Senior Brother Shi?"
While speaking, Li Qian pretended to look around and expressed exaggerated concern, "Oh my, where is Senior Brother Shi? Didn’t he come with you?"
This question was unavoidable, but fortunately, Ling Chuxia was well prepared. Her face remained unchanged, and even her smile stayed perfect as she replied in a gentle voice, "Mm, he’s been busy recently, so he didn’t come and sent me as his representative."
"Ha!"
Before she could finish, Li Qian scoffed sharply, not mincing her words, "Busy, huh? Or is it that he just didn’t want to come with you?"
Ling Chuxia took another sip of champagne, lifting her eyes to look at Li Qian, and slightly smiled. She didn’t answer directly, instead countering, "What about you? Why didn’t your husband come? Is he busy? Or does he not want to come with you?"
Li Qian’s face dramatically changed, and the frostiness in her eyes seemed to transform into sharp blades, flying straight toward Ling Chuxia.
Ling Chuxia curled her lips and slowly met her gaze.
Her message was clear—if Li Qian insisted on tearing into her today, she wouldn’t foolishly let her do it. Worst case, they would both suffer, and neither would have an easy time.
But she was very aware that someone as concerned about face as Li Qian wouldn’t be able to tolerate the mocking glances of others. So, it was unlikely that she would really tear into her in public without regard for appearances.
