Zhao Ji, who had just thought Qiu Tu was preparing to sweet-talk her into helping him again, could not help but hesitate at that moment.
Could it be... that I misunderstood Qiu Tu?
However, the moment that thought arose, Zhao Ji immediately dismissed it.
If it had been the Zhao Ji of the past, she would probably have been easily deceived by Qiu Tu. But now, she had reviewed every detail of her interactions with him over the past two years and was incomparably familiar with his tricks.
