บท 690: A bet

Lin Rui laughed as he bowed down and hugged Su Wan in his arms before pulling her onto his lap. " I see, my Wan Wan is really upset with me, aren't you?

" I went to the prefectural city for the lecture as promised but then headmaster Yuan was suddenly called to the capital by the Emperor, he wanted me to meet with the Emperor so he brought me along with him."
