As soon as Charlie walked out, Lin Wan’er (ni) anticipated he would surelye back.


    She kept herposure, continuing to pack her belongings, never allowing herself to rx for even a moment.


    When Charlie returned to the dormitory, he found the door still ajar. He pushed it open and stepped inside, his voice icy as he asked, “Lin Wan’er (ni), what brings you to Aurous Hill?” The abruptness of his question startled Lin Wan’er (ni), causing her to jump.


    Fortunately, she had practiced this startled reaction many times before.


    At that moment, she gasped dramatically, turned to face Charlie with a nervous expression, and cautiously inquired, “You… who are you?!” Charlie let out a sneer and replied, “After chasing me all the way here, you still pretend not to know who I am? Isn’t that a bit too much?” <h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Lin Wan’er (ni) appeared even more rmed, taking a step back as she stammered, “You… who are you… and how do you know my name, Lin Wan’er (ni)?”


    Charlie scoffed and said, “What? Are you still ying dumb? Here, let me show you something!”


    With that, he pulled out the ring that had started to glow again from his pocket.


    Lin Wan’er (ni) quickly feigned surprise, eximing, “Why do you have that ring?! Give it back to me at once!”


    In a rush, she lunged forward, attempting to snatch it from Charlie’s grasp.


    Charlie frowned, realizing that based on Lin Wan’er (ni)’s reaction, she genuinely didn’t seem to remember him. It appeared she had forgotten that he had saved her and that she had willingly given him the ring.


    Yet, Charlie hesitated to jump to conclusions, so he raised the ring high and coldly asked, “You gave me this ring yourself. Are you going to admit that, or do you genuinely not remember?”


    “That’s impossible!” Lin Wan’er (ni) retorted angrily. “This ring is a treasured keepsake from my father! I’ve always cherished it and would never give it to you! You must have stolen it! Are you part of the Poqinghui?”


    Charlie became even more confused upon hearing her mention the Poqinghui.


    He couldn’t tell whether her actions were genuine or an act.


    To get to the bottom of it, he decided to channel a surge of spiritual energy into Lin Wan’er (ni)’s mind, using significantly more than usual this time!


    As the spiritual energy flowed into her consciousness, Lin Wan’er (ni) sensed its presence but remained unaffected. Instead, she maintained her calm demeanor, gazing at Charlie with an empty expression. <h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong><fn8f34> Readplete version only at Find[?]ovel</fn8f34>
