Ling Mulan was adopted by Ling Juezhi. Even though she was only an adopted daughter, she still bore the Ling surname. If a scandal were to break out, even if Ling Juezhi didn't feel it was a disgrace, he would certainly be saddened. Ling Zihan respected his uncle and didn't want him to worry about such trivial matters while busy with work. Consequently, he had refrained from calling her out explicitly, choosing instead to reject her advances at every turn. Unfortunately, Ling Mulan played the fool, so he decided to stop being polite.
Upon hearing his words, a flash of embarrassment crossed Ling Mulan’s face, but she quickly pretended that nothing had happened. She asked with feigned confusion, "Zihan, what are you talking about? I don’t understand."
