Qiao Xuan’s heart skipped a beat, her cheeks flushing with warmth.
She couldn’t help but cover her face with her hands, feeling a mix of embarrassment and delight. How could she have done such a thing?
Slowly removing her hands from her face, she found herself stealing another glance at the man beside her. A sweet shyness enveloped her, accompanied by a sense of pride.

“…I had no other option but to get Officer Qiao drunk so that Miss Yinxing could stay and take care of him…” “What? Ah!”
Qiao Xuan was taken aback.
