This is awkward.
Never in sixteen years had Gu Jinyu felt such awkwardness.
How could Gu Jinyu ever have expected that the Marquis and Zhuang Yuheng would appear here in the middle of the night?
It was somewhat excusable for the Marquis to pass by, for after all, he was the owner of the Marquis Residence, but what about Zhuang Yuheng? What's the deal with him?
How did he get here?
Thinking back on the things she'd said in her jumbled state of mind, Gu Jinyu felt utterly awful!
She could only pray that they hadn't heard anything, yet the expressions on their faces told a completely different story.
They had heard, thoroughly, every single word crystal clear.
Gu Jinyu felt as if she had been struck by lightning, rooted stiffly to the spot.
The brothers were also quite surprised by the Marquis and Zhuang Yuheng's arrival, all except for Gu Yan.
