Si Niang had never intended to pay Yin Huayi any attention. At present, it was as though I was the only person in her eyes. She drifted over to stand before me at the VIP platform like a fairy and smiled. "My lord, Si Niang won. Do you like it?"
The effect of Si Niang's ignoring everyone else was intense. Seeing the girl reveal her true feelings so openly, my wife and Zhao Qian could not help smiling in astonishment, while Xue Qingcheng shook her head with an utterly helpless expression. Clearly, trying to reason with a girl who was as uncivilized in human relationships as she was in everything else was a complete waste of time.
It would be better to pretend they had not seen it. That way, perhaps they would not even be bothered to get angry.
I looked at Si Niang with a wry smile. "Your coordination in that battle was wonderful. How could I not like it?"
Si Niang wanted to come over and take my hand, but Hua Ke quickly caught hold of her and said, "Little Aunt, come with Hua Ke. I'll introduce you to the other aunts and have everyone like you too, all right?"
Si Niang naturally agreed at once.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Hua Ke really was considerate. She knew that if this continued, I would definitely be terribly awkward, and she had also displayed astonishing emotional intelligence. Taking Si Niang to pay her respects to my wife and the others would help Si Niang break into the group and ease the current tension among the women's army.
Just as I thought things would soon proceed to the next stage, Ling Tian's side seemed to be having trouble. Yin Huayi was already too furious to listen to anything.
