Upon learning that Wen Duo had not truly been possessed but was only pretending, the girl was instantly furious... If only she could beat him!
"Looks like you're no different from the people outside! Vile, shameless, filthy!"
"I'll admit to being vile. After all, a real man must be ruthless." Wen Duo simply shrugged. "But filthy? No way. I bathe every day."
Xiao Yao knew she could never win a battle of words against this crude man, so she secretly held a grudge. "Give it back!"
As she spoke, she reached out to snatch the steel needle Wen Duo was pinching between two fingers... But her hand skills were clearly lacking. After several attempts, she still failed.
"What exactly are you trying to do?" The girl nearly exploded.
"Why did you secretly hide this needle?" Wen Duo asked directly. "There are few people around right now. You'd better tell me. Otherwise, I won't be able to help you."
He sounded extremely sincere—so sincere that he sounded like a defense lawyer making a promise to a client. Oh, Old Wen had indeed been a defense lawyer in the past.
"...It's just an ordinary needle. What's so special about it?" Xiao Yao spread her hands. "I only thought it was the right size and took it back to mend my clothes. Is that not allowed? Your lousy villa is huge, but it doesn't have any daily necessities. If I tear my underwear, am I supposed to find fish bones you've chewed on and use them to sew it?!"
"Nonsense! I have many talents, and I'm a level-ten embroiderer. My workshop has a complete set of Kun Embroidery tools. What kind of embroidery needle could you want that I don't have?"
"You?!"
"Tell me, what exactly is this? Why were you hiding it?"
