Chapter 32: Getting Hands-on with the Wedding Photos

'Xu Yue... actually lied for me?'

Xu Yue had never said a single unnecessary word on his behalf.

In her eyes, he was practically invisible. The only time they ever interacted was when he collected his living allowance. Otherwise, they were like complete strangers.

But now, she had actually covered for him!

And she'd done it flawlessly, her story a perfect match for the one he'd fabricated.

'But why?'

"But sis, I swear I saw him!"

Xu Qian wasn't ready to back down. She looked at Xu Yue, about to say more.

"Qianqian."

But Xu Yue cut her off. Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unchallengeable authority. "It's the middle of the night," she said. "Don't be so loud. People are trying to sleep."

"I... Ugh... Fine!"

Xu Qian opened her mouth, wanting to argue, but after meeting Xu Yue's cold, phoenix-like eyes, she swallowed the words right back down.

In the Xu Family, Xu Yue's word was law.
