Gao Zhiru looked a bit uneasy, but still responded hesitantly: "Well, we need to wait until the results are out to know, it's too early now."
Partly he felt guilty at heart, and partly he was perplexed by Lady Ding's inexplicable enthusiasm towards him.
Three days ago, after his affair with Wang Er Ya was exposed, with Ji Xiulan acting crazy, he had thought that on seeing him, Lady Ding would vent her anger by giving him a beating. But now, the situation was a stark contrast to what he'd expected and it was a bit difficult for him to accept.
Perhaps sensing his discomfort, Lady Ding smiled kindly and said: "Zhiru, about the last incident, don't take it to heart. Xiulan is young and impulsive, she doesn't fully understand that it's normal for a man to have more than one woman. As someone who aspires to be a high official, you shouldn't worry about these trivial matters. Just let it pass. You two have a long life ahead."
