Chapter 1589: The Second Commendation Assembly (4)

A woman's thoughts may be more delicate than a man's.

But correspondingly, she tends to overthink.

Li Ruanyu was overthinking.

She mulled over Zhao Chi's words.

A trace of doubt appeared in her eyes.

Two powerful werewolf lords fighting among themselves, not even caring about the enemy, and instead being defeated by an enemy far weaker than themselves?

How could he come up with such a story?

Is he saying it for my benefit?

Or is he saying it for Shangguan Ting's benefit?

Or perhaps... for both of us?

Is he trying to mediate the conflict between the two of us?

Why?

Li Ruanyu looked at Zhao Chi, then at Shangguan Ting.

She noticed Shangguan Ting was also staring at Zhao Chi.

The guess in her heart grew more solid.

Zhao Chi definitely has something going on with Shangguan Ting! And it's something big!

At this moment, Shangguan Ting's heart was also churning.

They were both women.

Equally suspicious.

Equally sensitive.

Whatever Li Ruanyu could think of, Shangguan Ting could think of as well.

Shangguan Ting frowned as she looked at Zhao Chi on the stage.

What on earth is that bastard Zhao Chi trying to say?

What does he mean by saying something like this in front of everyone?

Is he saying that I, Bai Bai, am wasting our internal strength and letting the enemy take advantage?

He thinks far too little of me!

The grudge between Li Ruanyu and me is a personal one, not a public one.

I have never let personal grudges interfere with public duties!

Damn Zhao Chi!

Why does he always pick on me?

A flicker of grievance shone in Shangguan Ting's eyes.

Zhao Chi's heart turned cold.

Li Ruanyu and Shangguan Ting were both seated in the first row, so Zhao Chi could see their expressions very clearly.

The two women, one on each side, were both staring at him with unfriendly eyes, and Zhao Chi had no idea why.

What he feared most was exactly this.

He had already kept a low profile as much as possible, yet he had still somehow offended people for no reason.

And he still didn't know why.

Gu Zhan stood beside him, also not knowing why Zhao Chi had said that.

But the words were already out, so he could only smooth things over.

"Haha, Zhao Chi really is humorous. Regardless, the 'Best Performance' award he received this time is absolutely well-deserved!
