Xiang Jiechao, fearful that Gu Junzhu would notice something unusual, mustered all his strength to control himself, not daring to glance at Lingyue again.
Fear rose from the depths of his soul, causing his entire body to tremble.
He resented Xu Yanlai for revealing the family secret to him.
If it hadn't have been for Xu Yanlai, who divulged a long-hidden secret, he would still be unaware that he wasn't his father's biological son.
Nor would he know that Lingyue was the illegitimate child born from his father's legitimate daughter.
He had initially been able to face Ye Xingbei and Lingyue boldly, portraying a perfect gentleman.
But now that he fears his father discovering Lingyue's background, he lost his composure, becoming the subject of Gu Junzhu's mockery, and harshly rejected by his father.
He refused to let things end like this.
If he left now, what if his father uncovered the secret about Lingyue's origins?
