章 58: Chapter 58: It Would Be Laughable If Word Got Out_1

Xiang Wan didn't make a sound. When her father said those words back then, he must have held Zuo Xingyun in high regard and trusted him a lot, right?

Those words were probably more of a joke, given how young she was at the time.

Jokes from the past, when brought up now, only serve to sadden people. Those elusive memories would eventually turn into nightmares that entangle the future.

Xiang Wan, with her still aching back, got ready and headed out, only to see Zuo Xingyun playing with a cat in the courtyard: "In the future, you'd better not jump on people. If you really broke my back, it would be such a joke if word got out."

"Are you teasing the cat or me?" Xiang Wan felt somewhat dejected as she walked past them, paying them no attention.

Zuo Xingyun handed Niannian over to Auntie Zhang and followed Xiang Wan out.

Once in the car, he put a cushion behind Xiang Wan's back.

Xiang Wan instantly felt much more comfortable and looked over at him unwittingly.
