However, she already understood—understood what it meant to endure humiliation and bear the burden. When she was not completely sure of rescuing Han Hao, she could do nothing. However, there were still some things she could do in moderation. For example, she still asked nicely:
"Is it really okay? Does this count as the time to occasionally...?"
"Um."
"Then can I not go to the party?" From the time he brought her here and changed into this dress, she already knew that he was going to take her to the party.
"Why don't you want to participate?" He didn't agree and asked instead.[
"My current relationship with you...heh, aren't you worried that others will know?" She was also confused about this. From the fact that he showed her up so openly, he seemed to be confident and not afraid of his affairs being exposed. Although

"Didn't you watch it a few days ago?"
"Who knows... is he okay now? Has he been abused?"
"Do you want me to teach him a lesson? After all... he is a bit ignorant."
"You -" Suddenly, Qiao Xiao sat up in shock. She wanted to have an attack, but was a little scared. Finally, she held it back, lowered her head and timidly said: "I, I didn't..."
