Ling Chuxia's hand, clenched tight, was breaking out in a cold sweat, despite the room's temperature being constant. She couldn't help but shiver involuntarily.
Once a lie was told, it inevitably had to be covered up with countless more lies. Since she had already said she was accompanying Ji Xinxin, she could only brazen it out and continue with her fabrications.
Ling Chuxia swallowed hard, managing to squeeze out a semblance of a smile while restraining the trembling in her voice, she slowly replied, "No, Shen Qian just dropped Xinxin off at home and left. Xinxin had quite a bit to drink tonight and remembered some things from the past, so... I went to accompany her."
As soon as Ling Chuxia said this, Shi Che's dark eyes slightly tensed. The past affairs concerning Ji Xinxin had been so sensational back then; Ling Chuxia had mentioned them to Shi Che before, and he knew a bit about them.
