Self-interest?

Jing Su’s brows slightly twitched when he heard this.

Steady and enigmatic, Jing Su was mostly reticent, except when something interested him or he was dealing with familiar people.

Obviously, Xiao Caizi did not fall into the category of familiar people or interesting matters.

Although they almost became engaged, it ultimately did not happen. Indeed, Jing Su had never even met her, having unilaterally called off the engagement.

To Jing Su, she truly was a stranger.

So upon hearing this, Jing Su did not intend to inquire further. He had no interest in others’ secrets or their self-interests. Thus, he simply raised his eyebrows slightly and did not say anything more, just politely repeating, "Thank you."

This almost choked Xiao Caizi’s words in her throat.

Xiao Caizi: "... You really don’t want to know what my self-interest is?"

Jing Su silently paused for a moment, his expression unchanging as he slightly shook his head, "No."

Xiao Caizi pressed her lips together tightly, her hand hanging by her side involuntarily clenched into a fist.

Observing her clenched fist, Jing Su couldn’t help but think of her ability to nearly confront Shen Xun earlier when breaking up a fight.

Could it be that because he showed no interest in her self-interest, she was now going to resort to violence?
