He immediately felt dejected.
Those who have recently approached Doctor Shen are either highly skilled in martial arts or members of noble families.
I heard that Young Master Ling is a big shot from the capital.
How could a hunter like him be worthy of her?
Dejected, Apan returned home.
riverside.
Shen Zhiyi stomped her feet, feeling utterly ashamed and indignant.
"It's all your fault for not responding to me sooner. Now look what happened, someone heard us."
Duan Xingzhi looked at her flushed cheeks and her eyes, which were unusually bright with shame and indignation, and the resentment in his heart strangely dissipated a little.
Instead, a deeper longing has taken its place.
