Ran Xiangsi immediately knew that this person probably knew her well, or at least was familiar with her.
However, no matter how long she thought about it, she couldn’t recall who this person could be.
"Are we very familiar?" Her tone was quite ordinary; Ran Xiangsi didn’t quite like the way this person talked.
Or perhaps, she and Xing Chen were actually similar.
Towards the people they liked and those they didn’t, their attitudes were completely different.
The boundary between like and dislike was clearly defined.
The man with the black knight mask was none other than Fu Jingxuan.
Faced with Ran Xiangsi’s indifferent attitude, his heart suddenly stiffened.
Just earlier, he stood among the crowd watching the girl he admired appear like a queen, and his heart leaped with joy...
He couldn’t help but walk over, wanting to talk to her, wanting to invite her to dance.
But he hadn’t expected her tone to be so distant.
After all, she couldn’t recognize who he was, so being this cold was natural.
Fu Jingxuan wasn’t angry. Instead, he took a step closer to Ran Xiangsi, softened his tone, and said, "Why bother about who I am? On such a wonderful night, shouldn’t we cherish this unexpected encounter?"
When Ran Xiangsi raised her eyes, they met the amber-colored ones of the man.
Those eyes... like a terrifying color born from a volcanic eruption, extremely dangerous.
Instinctively wanting to stay away, Ran Xiangsi gave him a polite smile and turned to leave.
Just as she took a step, she quickly heard his lowered voice behind her ear, "Who would have thought that the legend of The Matrix, Queen L.S., would be so stunningly beautiful."
With a simple sentence, he successfully made Ran Xiangsi stop in her tracks.
She turned around in surprise, squinting to scrutinize him, thinking to herself that her identity might have been exposed.
The certainty in his words clearly indicated that he had investigated her.
"Sorry, I don’t understand what you’re talking about." At times , denial was the only option... Ran Xiangsi silently clenched her teeth, her expression unchanged, discreetly hiding her unease.
Besides Xing Chen, who else could be secretly investigating her?
Fu Jingxuan admired her even more for her calm denial.
No wonder she was the woman he had loved for three whole years; she was indeed extremely clever.
To have her identity thoroughly revealed and still deny without changing her expression?
"You know very well whether you understand. I’m just reminding you that some people are waiting to devour you whole, so be more careful."
Fu Jingxuan couldn’t warn her with his true identity, and taking advantage of this masked ball, she couldn’t recognize who he was.
Even though... it hurt a little.
He had thought she might recognize him.
"What do you mean? Who are you? Why are you investigating me?" This time, Ran Xiangsi couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious.
She looked hard at this person, finding him genuinely unfamiliar, unable to recognize who he was!
Such a creepy feeling of being targeted also really didn’t sit well with her! ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by Novᴇ(l)Fɪre .ɴᴇt
She admitted, she was a bit flustered.
All these years, her life had always been low-key and undisturbed. Why would someone suddenly start investigating her now?
Fu Jingxuan, seeing the fright on her face, couldn’t bear it and took a step closer, leaning down to whisper in her ear, "I will do everything I can to protect you."
