"Huh? Where did that laughter come from just now?"
Jiang Xiaobai raised his head to look at Tang Ningshuang and asked curiously.
"Huh?"
Tang Ningshuang froze. Faced with Jiang Xiaobai's question, she did not know how to answer for a moment, so she could only shake her head and glance at the Elder Princess.
After all, aside from her and Jiang Xiaobai, the Elder Princess was the only other person in the room.
"Was it her?!"
Jiang Xiaobai spoke again, casting a glance at the Elder Princess. At first, his face was full of suspicion, but then he slapped his forehead. "Ah, right. She's mute, but that doesn't mean she can't make a sound!"
"She must have laughed just now because she was reading my manuscript!"
As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai shook his head again. "What a shame, though. She has such a lovely voice. If she could speak, she'd surely sound wonderful!"
"Yes, it really is a shame!"
Tang Ningshuang glanced at the Elder Princess and voiced her agreement.
At the same time, she felt a little more admiration for Jiang Xiaobai.
He had even managed to cover for the Elder Princess like that. That took some skill!
When the two withdrew their gazes, the Elder Princess, standing there, let out a faint sigh of relief.
But very soon, the beautiful eyes beneath her bamboo hat shot Jiang Xiaobai a fierce glare.
Damn it! Why did this fellow have to crack jokes for no reason?!
He was utterly infuriating!
Indeed, if Jiang Xiaobai had not said something about wearing a dress, would she have failed to hold back her laughter?
"Come on, let's get back to that bet!"
Unaware of the Elder Princess's thoughts, Jiang Xiaobai looked at Tang Ningshuang again. "Are you in or not?"
"Sure!"
Tang Ningshuang
