Gritting his teeth, he growled, "It's all because of you, An Xiaomian, so you need to take responsibility, got it?"
"Th-then...what do you want me to do?" An Xiaomian asked shyly, her face flush with embarrassment as she avoided his gaze.
"I want..." Shangguan Xiu smirked devilishly and leaned in, intending to kiss her.
Just then, a knock on the door interrupted them, followed by Eagle's voice calling from outside, "Young Master, Young Master, it's bad—your father is here! I couldn't hold him off, please come out quickly. The Master keeps asking about the young lord and young lady!"
Hearing Eagle's words, Shangguan Xiu and An Xiaomian felt as though a bucket of cold water had been poured over them.
