Chapter 403: I neither hate you nor like you
Luna retracted her gaze from the middle-aged man. She had interacted with many traitors and backstabbers in her life so she could easily tell if one had questionable motives. For some reason, she felt that the man before her was one she should be guarded against.
Straightening up, she looked at Madam Jiang with a slight smile. "Aunty, I have a few things to do before dinner."
"No problem. I’ll call you when dinner is ready." responded Xinghe, wondering why the atmosphere suddenly felt tensed.
Hearing that Luna was leaving, Uncle Yun grabbed the opportunity. "Shishi is still new to B City and doesn’t have any friends yet. Xingyu, why don’t you show her around?"
Xiaoshi had just returned from the bathroom when she heard the instruction. She gulped. What was her father doing?
Xinghe finally realized what was happening and she felt uncomfortable. Although she liked Xiaoshi and was in a friendly relationship with the Yuns, her son was engaged! What was old Yun doing?
She was just about to create an excuse for Xingyu when he spoke up. "Sure."
He then led Xiaoshi out, after giving his mother a reassuring look.

In the garden.
Xiaoshi didn’t dare to get too close to Xingyu. Although this was the man she had loved for years, she knew better than anyone what would happen if she got her hopes too high.
