章 27: Chapter 20: Next Time (One More Update)

Zhou Gu thought to himself, she really doesn't know how to avoid sensitive topics. Is this something she should say the first time we meet? She really knows how to pour salt onto his wounds. On the day he was beaten by his grandfather's military stick, Xie Lin had sent someone to the Duke Residence specifically to mock him, saying what's the point of snatching the girl if you're just going to have her stolen away? He's not better than Zhou Gu at all, they are both failures.

At the time, he was furious and considered going to beat up Xie Lin again. However, he couldn't leave his bed, especially with the rumors spreading like wildfire, all saying that he was absurd and reckless. Full of regret, he wished he could just drop dead.
