"Apologize." Flora's voice had only just fallen but Levi's voice followed.
It was clearly light tone, but for no apparent reason, it gave birth to an irresistible feeling.
Flora subconsciously wanted to kneel down and apologize, and her knees bent before she snapped back to her senses and broke out in a cold sweat.
She bit her lip and glanced at Levi, and then at Ruby who was looking at her with a faint smile on the corner of her lips, and suddenly felt her face burning hot.
There was no reaction from Ruby or Levi, and to her, that was the greatest humiliation of all.
"You guys, you guys are bullying!" Flora cried out, turning around and covering her face as she ran out.
Ruby raised her eyebrows and looked over at Levi, "Your family's strange relatives are quite interesting."
"She's not a relative of our family." Levi corrected seriously.
Ruby shrugged her shoulders without continuing to say anything.
Vincent sent the people watching behind him away and walked into the box himself, sitting down beside Ruby, and subconsciously went to look at Levi again.
"Why are you free to come today?" Vincent had just opened his mouth, and Ruby glanced at him, and he instantly swallowed back the words that followed, and only smiled at Ruby with a pleasing face.
Ruby laughed coldly and raised her hand and knocked twice on the table, so Vincent honestly put his hand up.
After taking Vincent's pulse, Ruby fished out two porcelain bottles from inside the backpack she carried and tossed them over, "Use it externally, and take less messy things."
"Got it." Vincent joyfully took the two porcelain bottles and opened them, a faint fragrance came to his nose, and it was also vaguely sweet. Inside the porcelain bottles was a milky white liquid, which was the first time Vincent had seen it.
"What is it this time?" He put the porcelain bottles away before he opened his mouth to ask Ruby.
"The scar removal." Ruby replied.
"Thanks, it's on me, you can eat whatever you want." Vincent said as he got up and went out, leaving space for Ruby and Levi.
"You know him well?" Levi had seen Vincent more than once at Ruby's house, he naturally knew Vincent's identity, so he became more and more curious as to how exactly Ruby knew this man.
Ruby nestled lazily inside the sofa, hearing Levi's words before she looked up at him, "Is this you are trying to exercise your power as a fiance, to be jealous?"
The corner of Levi’s mouth twitched and he silently withdrew his gaze, "Pretend I didn't say that."
"Levi, I'm actually quite curious, why do you keep wearing a mask, is it really disfigured? I have a scar removal potion here, do you want to buy it?" Ruby supported her chin with one hand as she looked at the silver mask on Levi's face.
Accustomed to seeing this man wearing a mask, Ruby was a little curious about what he looked like underneath it.
Levi reached out and touched his hand on the mask, the corners of his lips rising, "When the wedding day comes, I'll take it off and show you."
"Wedding?" Ruby looked at Levi thoughtfully.
With the accident and amputation of Amelia’s leg, she thought that Levi would cancel the engagement and marry Amelia, but now it seemed that Levi had no such intention?
"I feels quite good, thanks to your medicine." Patrick looked at Ruby gently.
"It's just an exchange of equal value, your seven-leaf lotus is of great use to me as well." The two people walked with laughter to the box Patrick had booked, and Levi stood in place, watching them enter the door before withdrawing his gaze.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard Vincent's voice coming, "You like Ruby, don't you?"
Levi didn't answer, just looked at Vincent steadily.
Vincent wrapped his arms around his chest and lazily leaned against the door of a box, looking at Levi with a smirk, "From the way you just looked at her, I can't be wrong, you like her."
This sentence was very certain, and Levi only felt his heart beat hard, and soon calmed down as if nothing was wrong, "You are overthinking."
Dropping the words, he didn't bother to look at Vincent again and lifted his feet to leave.
"Levi, you're afraid to even admit that you like someone, what are you afraid of?" Vincent didn't miss the momentary unnaturalness on Levi’s face, and watching him about to run away, he asked after him again.
Levi paused in his steps and looked back at Vincent, "For the matters between her and me, outsiders are not qualified to interfere."
"I'm not an outsider." Vincent smiled and lifted his chin a little arrogantly.
Levi was uncomfortable in his heart, and only after giving Vincent a deep look did he withdraw his gaze and turn around to leave with quick steps.
Vincent's eyes looked deeply at the back of Levi's departure for a long time before he murmured in a low voice, "If I had the chance, it would not be your turn to like her."
