She, too, regretted her conduct with Gu Nianzhi She thought she had gotten aith it when He Zhichu did not press the , but it was now apparent that He Zhichu had ht er

In retrospect, she should have seen it co It was only natural for someone like He Zhichu to keep his cards close to his chest

If he wanted to punish so his real reasons for doing so

“Professor He! Please forgive me, just this once! I’ve been loyal to you for so many years!” Wen Shouyi’s eyes ith tears; she looked like she was ready to kneel and grovel before He Zhichu

Gone was her calentle demeanor Her face was full of terror, her entire body trembled, and her full, luscious lips quivered

He Zhichu looked quietly at her for a fewher cheek as he wiped a few drops of tears from her face His voice was clear, but also cool and deliberate, as he said, “Very well But there will not be a next time” He went out the door as he said this

She lifted a hand and touched her face, where He Zhichu had wiped away her tears, and told herself that she could not afford to make another mistake

She knew exactly how cold-blooded and merciless He Zhichu could be
