The moment the words left his mouth, the Sea Elf before him stiffened.
Though separated by a veil, they were standing face-to-face, and He Xi could still vaguely make out the strange expression on her pretty face.
Amid her surprise, there seemed to be a trace of helpless bewilderment.
He Xi found it a little strange.
The reason he had called out those words without any reservations was, of course, because he had thought it through carefully.
This would both lower Lamasha's guard and fit the plan they had discussed beforehand.
As for offending her... based on what He Xi knew of Flora, didn't she enjoy acting the most?
Besides, he secretly found it rather interesting.
It had clearly been a perfect plan.
But... why was Flora making that expression?
At the entrance, the provocatively dressed female employee was also staring at the two of them in astonishment.
In her eyes, the man was undeniably handsome, but the woman beside him, even through that layer of white gauze, had neither the figure nor the temperament of someone who would come to a place like this.
If she were some mistress being kept on the side, sneaking out behind the family's back for pleasure, that would have been one thing. But this man had actually called her his wife?!
What was even more ridiculous was that he had specifically named the establishment's "star attraction"—Lamasha, the tiefling whom a bunch of brainless male customers had lifted to the heavens.
The female employee rolled her eyes, deciding that this was probably another unlucky fool whose brain had been ruined by that bitch's tricks.
Everyone in the shop, even everyone who made their living on this street, knew that bitch earned the most Gold Shields, yet all she ever did was talk without acting.
