Zhu Xiu's reaction was blatant. Jin Yi noticed, his fingers curling slightly.
'Zhu Xiu is overthinking this.' He had no intention of competing with them for her affection.
"Per the Clan Leader's orders, the items have been delivered. I'll be taking my leave."
Without another glance at Zhu Xiu or Bai Wanwan, he turned and left.
The two males accompanying him immediately followed.
Once they had disappeared from view, Zhu Xiu turned to Bai Wanwan. "Still looking?"
Bai Wanwan grabbed his arm, her lips curling into a smile. "Then I'll just look at you!"
'I thought I'd angered the king of jealousy and would have to spend ages calming him down.'
But surprisingly, Zhu Xiu didn't seem that angry today.
He raised a hand, stroking her hairline. "If you want to take him as a Beast Husband, I won't stop you."
Bai Wanwan's heart skipped a beat, but her first reaction wasn't relief.
It was a strange, unsettling feeling.
'Is Zhu Xiu trying to trick me?'
