Qin Siyang smiled faintly.
A honey trap.
Trying a honey trap on me was a rather ill-fated mistake.
Li Jingwen had tried it. Roylena had tried it. Sun Yaru had tried it.
Without exception, they had all died.
If Sally wanted to try that trick, she was practically courting death.
Besides.
How could something like this fool someone as worldly and chaste as me?
He said, "Sally, I have to admit, of all the women who've tried to tempt me with a honey trap, you have the best looks and bearing."
"But-I won't be easily deceived by lies."
The light in Sally's eyes remained bright. "Mister Qin, I'm not lying."
"Miss Sally, I understand that you may have your own motives, or circumstances you can't help, or even orders to confess your feelings to me."
"But my patience has its limits. If you insist on toying with me and scheming against me, I'll fight back."

"Since you refuse to see reason, I'll put an end to your hopes-"
Qin Siyang switched on the Bird-Shaped Lie Detector.
"Miss Sally, could you repeat what you just said?"
"Which part?"
"The part about why you like me."
Sally nodded.
"All right. You looked so handsome onstage just now that I suddenly fell for you."
"True."
"I'm old enough to marry, but there hasn't been a man I liked. After meeting you today, I don't think I'll ever meet a better man."
"True."
"So even if my father disagrees, I still want to marry you. We're sure to have a wonderful future together!"
"True."
"You're a charming man. I'll love you even more after we're married."
"True."
The bird on Qin Siyang's shoulder sounded like an emotionless recording on repeat.
Each declaration dealt another
