Xi Nian's body stiffened, and almost without hesitation, he said, "I will refuse."
"That's good," Yuran said, smiling.
Xi Nian knew he'd been tricked. He was momentarily stunned, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he covered his forehead with his hand and laughed, "Xi Bao, you've always liked to do this since you were little."
