She almost believed him.
Anyway, she couldn't tell right from wrong in the moment, and she wasn't in the mood to parse the meaning behind his words.
Back in the car, Qiao Xi opened the vanity mirror to inspect her own face.
Yep, really ugly.
She had never been this ugly in her entire life.
Qiao Xi looked towards Shen Dang, her phoenix eyes lacking their usual coldness, now brimming and watery, with a mix of reproach and complaint.
Shen Dang felt her gaze was simply deadly.
Shen Dang's Adam's apple involuntarily bobbed as he asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Imitating his tone, Qiao Xi clicked her tongue, "Actually, it's not your fault for calling me ugly, since this time you're telling the truth."
Shen Dang: "..."
She really doesn't believe me, huh?
Shen Dang reached over and closed the vanity mirror, his voice indifferent, "Stop looking."
Qiao Xi crossed her arms, casually watching him, "No way, I need to prove whether what you just said was true or not."
