Chapter 76

Shen Xuejin looked at the sash. After the initial flash of surprise, her eyes darkened with annoyance. Huo Nanchi was clearly retaliating. It was only because, when Prince Rong had asked if she and Huo Nanchi were acquainted, she had replied, "We are mere acquaintances." Given the type of person Huo Nanchi was, would he have let her tie a blindfold for him if they were truly just acquaintances? She had not expected him to be such a petty man who held a grudge over every little thing. Although she felt a flicker of irritation, Shen Xuejin knew she had no choice but to comply. She took the sash from him and stood on her tiptoes to tie it over his eyes. However, Huo Nanchi was quite tall, and standing on her tiptoes was not enough. Sensing this, he leaned down slightly to make it easier for her. As her soft fingertips brushed against his skin, Shen Xuejin felt a slight tremor in her hands, but she successfully fastened the sash over his eyes.
