Were Jiaoying her usual self, perhaps she would have already flown off the handle.
But it helped in no small part that she had recently just lectured her young lover about controlling his own anger. That, in addition to the fact that Yari already warned her that he might pull something like this.
She was prepared even if she had been caught off guard.
"...Dean Raidis?" Jiaoying folded her arms. "This is a highly unexpected visit."
"...Are you being coy with me, Miss Xu? My, I never really took you for the type."
"Does it look as though I am attempting anything other than trying to figure out why you have invited yourself into my home without announcing yourself? Even if I am indebted to you, this still crosses a very particular line."
Raidis' brow furrowed. This was a hurdle he had not anticipated.
A bit of resistance was always within his expectations. But with the way Jiaoyig was behaving, it was almost as if she didn't know anything at all.
It was almost too convincing.
