Chapter 49: Truly and Sincerely, I Like You
Upon hearing this, Ma Huilian’s movement froze. Her expression darkened slightly, then she turned her face, smiled, and handed the clothes in her hand to Mi Jing. She then said, "I’ll be heading down now. Zixian is still waiting for me to make tea for him, so I won’t disturb you."
After Ma Huilian left, Mi Jing did not relax. On the contrary, she felt a bit uneasy, worried that taking the clothes from Ma Huilian without consulting Shen Lingxing might upset him.
"Actually, I..."
"No need to explain, I understand." Mi Jing tried to explain but was interrupted by Shen Lingxing.
He understands?
Mi Jing was slightly surprised and asked, "Then how do we handle these clothes?"
During dinner, Mi Jing noticed the good relationship between Ma Huilian and Shen Zixian. She thought that if Ma Huilian complained to Zixian about feeling mistreated at their place, they could end up being "the bad guys."
Therefore, Mi Jing accepted the clothes with the mindset of avoiding unnecessary trouble, not because she genuinely liked the clothes Ma Huilian had given her.
"Give them to me."
With those words, Shen Lingxing walked up to Mi Jing, took the clothes from her, and once again went into the dressing room.
