Chapter 833: The Woman In The Lace Nightdress

The man turned to look at Qin Shu. Seeing the determination in her eyes, he paused.

As Qin Shu spoke, she thought of Wen Xin, "And my mother. She knew that I went to the mountain to learn martial arts, but she didn't tell me. I didn't know why Mom had to hide this from me. She's a very strong woman and carries everything on her own. Mom thinks she's doing it for my good by not saying anything. But I'd rather share the burden with her than let her bear all these alone."

The man saw the aggrieved look in her eyes, and his body stiffened. His hands clenched tightly behind his back. His cold eyes slightly moved. He realized that he had already embraced Qin Shu in his arms when he reacted. "Your mother, she..."

Thinking of Wen Xin's earlier warning, he forcefully swallowed the words about to come out of his mouth.

"She's indeed a very strong woman."
