Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Traditional Chinese Medicine

"Why did you say such false things at the dinner table to slander me?" After a tasteless meal, once the tableware was cleared, Lin Mengyao stopped Lin Mengxi.

"You yourself said they’re just false statements, right? I also just heard it from others, that’s why I mentioned it. Why are you getting angry? Aren’t you supposed to be the ice queen, unruffled no matter what happens?" Lin Mengxi crossed her arms and looked at Lin Mengyao, a mocking smile curving her lips.

"Don’t overthink it, I’m here with you. If you really don’t feel at ease staying here, I’ll take you to our own home." Xu Ke placed a hand on Lin Mengyao’s hair, massaging her scalp gently, trying to relax her tense nerves.
