Zhao Shu didn't expect him to act like a child when it comes to relationships. But he's only fifteen or sixteen years old, isn't he a child? If he were in modern times, he'd still be in high school. It's good that he throws a tantrum now and then.
Strange, logically this kind of coquettish tantrum should be directed at his family, why is he acting coquettishly and sulking towards himself?
After Lin Dongxue left, Zhou Hanyan pouted but didn't chase after him. Zhao Shu asked her, amused, "Aren't you going to chase after him?"
“No, no one will pay attention to him. He’ll come back on his own.”
That's real confidence; maybe that's what love is all about.
"Aren't you worried he won't come back? What if someone else takes him away?"
"Don't worry, no one can take it away from me."
This is not how it was when she first saw it. She was on guard back then, but things have changed so quickly in just a few days. It doesn't make sense.
"Go and see, try to appease them, otherwise they'll really be taken away, and then you'll be crying your eyes out." Zhao Shu had the air of a neighborhood committee auntie, and she laughed as she finished speaking.
Zhou Hanyan pouted and reluctantly went out. After leaving the house, she looked around and, finding no one watching, ran away very quickly.
However, to Zhao Shu's surprise, after Lin Dongxue and Zhou Hanyan left one after the other, three people arrived.
All three were elderly men, and when they saw Zhao Shu, they were all stunned. However, they obviously knew that they were at the mansion, and their surprise was only because of Zhao Shu's appearance.
"Lord Huo?" The three were more surprised to see Huo Baichuan than Zhao Shu.
Huo Baichuan nodded with a smile. The three of them hurriedly tried to kowtow, but he stopped them in advance, saying, "No need for such formalities."
Between officials and businessmen, businessmen are far inferior.
Whether it was her imagination or not, the three of them seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Huo Baichuan, as if a huge weight had been lifted from their hearts. She couldn't help but be curious.
"This old man greets the princess and Lord Huo." Although he did not kneel, he performed the proper etiquette.
Lin Dongxue's demeanor revealed his good upbringing. Seeing the three of them, Zhao Shu understood that they were all extremely polite people. No wonder Zhou Hanyan felt so stifled and couldn't stand it.
"No need for formalities, gentlemen. May I ask if you have something to discuss with us?" Before Zhao Shu could speak, Huo Baichuan interrupted. This old-fashioned man, who was very particular about etiquette, generally couldn't stand seeing women showing their faces in public.
The three exchanged glances, their eyes simultaneously falling on Zhao Shu.
