"No, I'm quite busy,"
Ye Xiao didn't grasp the deeper meaning in Qiao Si's words, simply assuming he was genuinely inquiring whether she was idle.
Of course, she wasn't idle—she was striving to make herself someone everyone disliked, trying to emulate Zhu Ting and do things that were detrimental to others yet brought no benefit to herself. As an eighteen-year-old girl, she still listened to her parents quite obediently, doing whatever they asked of her.
"Yes, you are busy, busy bullying the elderly."
Qiao Si kissed the girl's forehead affectionately in his arms.
He felt it was his own fault for being too busy lately and neglecting her, causing her to seek trouble among the Ancient Clan out of boredom. It was his fault for being so engrossed in work and forgetting that his little girlfriend needed companionship.
"If not to make a name for The Horrible Trio of the Imperial Capital."
