"..."

I was speechless. The roar of people downstairs was like a needle pricking into my ears at this moment. My mind was suddenly so noisy that I couldn't hear anything.

Only the sound of my breathing echoed dryly in my ears.

His face and that mask are so strange...

He looked at my blank look, but also a little anxious, and said in a low voice: "Madam! Since you know me, why don't you get to know me?"

His voice is so strange...

"Last time we said goodbye, I asked many people around me. They are all my old friends, but they don't know Madam. When did Madam meet me?"

He is so strange...

"Madam, who are you to me?"

"..."

I kept looking at him silently without saying anything. When I heard him ask this question, I raised my head and smiled.

He was stunned and looked at me steadily.

"Does Mr. Liu want to know your relationship with me so much?"

"Ma'am, please clarify."

"It's easy to say. In fact, Mr. Liu and I don't have any major disputes. It's just some debt disputes."

"Debt...dispute?" He looked at me with wide eyes in surprise. I smiled faintly at him: "I am your creditor."

"Credit?"

"Yes."

I nodded and looked at the surprised expression on his face: "I am your creditor, but if you forget it, you will forget everything."

He glanced at me and was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about how to deal with me next, and then immediately bowed his hand to me and saluted: "I'm sorry."

I smiled.

"Since my wife is my creditor, I wonder what I owe my wife? Is it money?"

Money?

Haha, yes, if the relationship between men and women really ends up like this, it would be the best, simple, clean, and innocent.

It's a pity that there is really no way to settle the relationship between you and me in terms of money, nor can we settle it.

I smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, sir. I didn't urge you to return it, so it's not that important."

"Then——"

"However, I still have to pay it back."

Hearing my ambiguous and even incomprehensible words, he was slightly at a loss, but he was an official after all. He quickly returned to his usual calm, and his eyes when looking at me showed a little alienation - an official.

Of course, I will not let myself be completely passive and at a disadvantage under any circumstances. Even when he and Pei Yuanxiu were at Wangjiang Pavilion, I could feel his caution and neither humbleness nor arrogance. Now my actions like this made him cock up.

Like thorns on the body, not only the eyes, but also the half-intact face revealed the same coolness as the mask.

It seems that he is not bad at learning the art of being an official.

I... really don’t have to worry anymore.

He asked: "Madam, if you want to pay me back, you might as well say it clearly."

I smiled, turned around and walked towards the stairs. He followed behind me and said somewhat displeasedly: "Madam?"

I was ready to go downstairs, but after going down the first step, I stopped again, held on to the wooden railing with one hand, raised my head and looked at him, and said: "Don't worry, sir, the debt between you and me, before Qiansou's banquet, I will

I will ask an adult to get it back."
