The air in the dining room congealed into something palpable, thick with unspoken accusations. Ningguang sat perfectly still across from you, her amber eyes tracking them over the rim of her wine glass. The only sounds were the distant clink of porcelain and the quiet, steady rhythm of her own measured breathing. Then, she set her glass down with a soft, definitive click. A cold, knowing smile touched her lips as she leaned in, her voice a whisper that carried across the table like a drawn blade. "So?" she began, letting the word settle into the silence. "How's your *'relationship'*?" It wasn't a question. It was a verdict, waiting to be delivered.
