Miss Qin has a fiancé!
Simon Sun's first reaction was disbelief. He blurted out, "Storm Cloud Bu isn't her fiancé."
"Storm Cloud Bu is indeed not her fiancé. Her fiancé is Storm Cloud Bu's close friend." Serena didn't reveal Lan Jiuxing's identity; she only wanted Simon Sun to give up.
Simon Sun was completely stunned and asked, confused, "Miss Qin has a fiancé, so why isn't she at home waiting for marriage? Why is she so close with Storm Cloud Bu... and so close with me?"
Simon Sun didn't ask the last question aloud; he couldn't bring himself to say it. Bella Qin had been attentive to him throughout the journey, and he thought she liked him. Turns out, she didn't.
"Miss Qin's fiancé asked Storm Cloud Bu to take care of her." Although Serena also felt Storm Cloud Bu and Bella Qin were too close, it was someone else's business. Since Lan Jiuxing didn't mind, why should she?
Simon Sun didn't doubt Serena's words, but he couldn't accept them right away. He just stared blankly and said, "Master, I understand."
Simon Sun's reaction worried Serena. She wanted to comfort him, but just as she started to speak, Simon Sun snapped out of it and, as if nothing had happened, apologized to her with a guilty look, saying he shouldn't have brought Bella Qin along without clarifying things. If this caused her fiancé to misunderstand, he deserved any punishment.
"Simon..." Serena had just started to speak when Simon Sun interrupted: "Master, you don't need to say anything. I understand. Don't worry about me, I'm fine."
Simon Sun forced a bright smile, his eyes full of laughter. Serena felt as if she were being cut by a knife, but she couldn't say more. Since Simon didn't want her to worry, she pretended not to notice anything.
