...when those words were right at the tip of his tongue, he suddenly hesitated.

Or that she would accuse him of thinking too much? Or even resent him for thinking so badly of her friend?

Perhaps it was a mixture of both, but it was indeed a fact that he was afraid to upset her... He couldn't help but remember the look on her face when Liang Jiusi's unseemly friends had mocked her back at the Golden Resplendence. He really didn't want her to experience that kind of thing again.

Forget it. It looks like I'll have to find an opportunity to talk with Liang Jiusi and get him to keep a closer watch on that cousin of his.
