"...it was me!" Will answered dryly, "I...I have something I want to talk to you about."

Jessica was ready to lose her temper, but when she heard what he said, her eyebrows knitted together.

He wanted to talk to her... about something?

"What is it?"

"That..." Will’s mind raced, but it was completely blank, "that... actually... I..."

"You what?"

"I mean to say... that..." His gaze fell on her dress, and he suddenly thought of something to say, "Your dress... is pretty nice!"

Jessica opened her lips, her face a mixture of amusement and disbelief.

"I think... you’re out of your mind!"

"Nonsense!" Will instinctively retorted with displeasure, then realizing his mission, hurried to control his anger, "I don’t want to fight with you today."

Jessica tilted her head, sizing up the man in front of her who was making no sense.

Could it be that the kicks she had landed on him had also scrambled his brain?

But that didn’t make sense; she had kicked him there, not his head... Could it be that the nerves were connected, despite the distance?

Her gaze landed on his lips, which had scabbed over, and suddenly she felt like laughing.

"Don’t want to fight with me?" Jessica took a step towards him, "Then what do you want?"

Will took a wary step back; this girl was a skilled fighter, and he didn’t want to be ambushed by her.

Jessica had been planning on ambushing him, but seeing him retreat alertedly, she immediately pouted.

"What’s the matter, scared?"

"Scared of you?" Will scoffed disdainfully, "Don’t think that just because we are not in A Country, I can’t do anything to you. We’ve already agreed on cooperation with F Country, and when the time comes, I can extradite you back home."

Was he threatening her?

Did he think she was easily frightened?!

Jessica crossed her arms behind her back, "Oh really? May I ask what crime I’ve committed? Does your country’s law stipulate that biting a man’s lip is illegal?"

Will raised an eyebrow, "You intended to kidnap Gan Tang, and you threatened me with a gun; don’t tell me you’re going to deny it."

Jessica burst out laughing, "When did I kidnap him, did I touch that child’s finger? Threaten you with a gun? That was because you were being indecent with me!"

"When was I indecent with you?"

This girl had a sharp tongue, managing to twist the situation so completely.

It was clearly her wrongdoing, so how had it ended up being his fault in the end?

"Or... does your country’s law not care about evidence at all, just randomly arresting people?!"

Will immediately defended his country, "What nonsense are you talking about, our country’s law is very sound and fair!"

Jessica pursed her lips, suddenly recalling something.

Could it be that Huangfu Jue wanted to do something to Gan Yuan? This guy had suddenly dragged her out here...

Concerned, she immediately turned around, wanting to go back to the living room.

"Hey!"

Will grew anxious and immediately reached out to pull her back.

Jessica was not having it. She sidestepped his hand and threw back a punch.

Will retreated to dodge, "I already said I don’t want to fight!"

"I don’t care about you!"

Jessica forced him back and turned to leave, but Will immediately rushed forward, blocking her way. Jessica frowned and kicked out.

Thus, the man and woman were once again at odds.

...

...

The back courtyard.

Huangfu Jue kept walking forward, only stopping when he reached a secluded corner in the back corridor of the Marquis Residence. He then turned to face Gan Yuan, who was behind him.

Gan Yuan stopped, letting go of the hem of her dress.

"What’s wrong with Xiaotang?"

"He’s fine."

Gan Yuan frowned helplessly and turned to leave.
