Chapter 1180: Pledge of allegiance

Melgor, the sweet idiot, reacted like a bird startled by the twang of a bow. When he heard Qian Weining's voice, he panicked a little and paced around the room. "Why does he want to talk to you alone? Will he try to silence me if he sees me? He—"

Ren Xiaosu didn't know whether to laugh or cry while tugging Melgor back. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Why are you panicking? What can Qian Weining do to you? Don't worry, nothing will happen! Let's listen to what he has to say first!"

However, Melgor was unwilling. "I'd better hide. I really don't know what to say to him. What if he wants to say something unfavorable about me?"

With that, Melgor slipped behind the thick and heavy red flannel curtains.

The moment he got behind the curtains, Melgor was so startled he almost cried out in exclamation. However, Chen Jingshu reacted faster and instantly covered his mouth while signaling him not to speak.
