"I... I have my difficulties," Liu Ya wrung her hands, visibly distressed.
Yu Ling's gaze sharpened, "What kind of difficulties? Can you talk about it?"
"I..."
"There's no one else here, and Mufeng isn't around either. Just speak up!"
Liu Ya cautiously lifted her eyes to look at Yu Ling, "It's Ailin. She threatened me..."
"Ailin?" Yu Ling's heart gave a sudden leap, "What does she have to threaten you with?"
"She said if I don't leave, she would reveal your identity," Liu Ya said, her eyes tightly fixed on Yu Ling, observing her reaction.
Yu Ling's face turned pale, and her body even started to tremble slightly.
Ailin had used this to threaten Jian Xi!
That's despicable!
And to think she had trusted Ailin as if she were her own daughter...
In Liu Ya's mind she guessed: It must be a terrifying identity!
It took a while before Yu Ling found her voice again, "And now? Why did you come back?"
