Li Zheng frowned and looked at Pei Zhi in disbelief.

Then, Li Zheng said angrily, "Miss Qin, even if you don't appreciate my feelings, there's no need to humiliate me like this."

"What are you saying? You're old enough to be my mother? That's going too far."

Pei Zhi realized her words were inappropriate when she saw that Li Zheng was angry.

The ancients valued filial piety, and Li Zheng heard Pei Zhi's words as an insult.

Pei Zhi touched her face. After years of living a life of luxury, it's normal for her face to look a little younger.

The door to the private room was kicked open, and Yuan Chengyu barged in.

Yuan Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Pei Zhi sitting peacefully.

Pei Zhi smiled at Yuan Chengyu when she saw him coming.

Yuan Chengyu glared at Pei Zhi. He had rushed over immediately after hearing that Pei Zhi had gone to a private room with someone, fearing that something might have happened to her.

Yuan Chengyu walked up to Li Zheng and said, "My name is Yuan Chengyu. May I ask your name, sir?"

The name sounded familiar to Li Zheng. "Li Zheng."

"I wonder if you and Zhizhi have finished discussing your matter?"

When Li Zheng heard the man address Miss Qin as Zhizhi, he glanced at the two of them again.

"Is Young Master Yuan Miss Qin's cousin?"

Yuan Chengyu snorted in annoyance. He was already calling him so intimately, what was with all this talk about cousin?

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." Li Zheng suddenly realized something. "Is Master Yuan Miss Qin's elder?"

Yuan Chengyu's expression turned even uglier. Yuan Chengyu was already a bit older than Pei Zhinian.

Normally, Yuan Chengyu spends his days in the military camp exposed to the wind and sun, so it's normal that he looks older than Pei Zhi.

But the person in front of me is really lacking in common sense.
