Capítulo 229: Learning about mates

He began peeling the peach by hand, breaking off each piece and placing them in Han Xuelian's bowl. "Huo Renyi will be pleased to know that you are worried about him."

"I do love my son…" Huo Chenzhong admitted, setting his teacup down firmly on the table. "But the lad…I fear he hates me."
