Xie Xinghan smiled with playful reproach, her tone light:
"Oh, I meant among women! My friend may be formidable, but before you, Young Master, she would never dare claim that there is 'nothing she does not master, nothing she does not know'!"
She tucked both hands behind her back, loosely entwining her fingertips, and skipped a few steps forward. Then she suddenly turned to look at Wang Yang. The jade hairpin in her hair swayed gently with the movement, and her eyes shimmered as though scattered with starlight. Her lovely smile blossomed:
"But if you truly wish to meet her, Young Master, I could introduce you."
Chen Qing Shan secretly let out a breath, thinking how impressive Wang Yang was to have taken Lady Xie in with just a few words. Huh? Could he have fooled me like this too???
Wang Yang felt that Xie Xinghan had begun to suspect something.
In truth, if he had a choice, he would not have taken such a roundabout route to sound Xie Xinghan out. This matter looked simple enough to settle, but it was actually complicated and dangerous.
Had that woman revealed his true background to Xie Xinghan?
Wang Yang judged that she probably had not. Otherwise, she would not have repeatedly warned him against deceiving and enticing well-bred young ladies.
Then why had she not told her?
Was it because she was concealing her movements and had found no opportunity to tell her?
Or was she still making use of him for the time being, and therefore reluctant to let fresh branches sprout from the trouble?
Or perhaps she also wanted to keep Xie Xinghan from being drawn into certain storms?
Whatever the reason, Wang Yang did not want Xie Xinghan to know his identity was false.
He trusted Xie Xinghan
