Chapter 119: Doubts (First update)

Su Xingze spent the whole day at the Duke Residence without saying a word. By nightfall, the old Duke decreed that he should stay for the night. Unable to defy the old Duke, he stayed over.

The old Duke had a good drinking capacity, and Su Xingze had a bit too much to drink that day. Zhou Gu took Su Xingze to the guest room, ordered some hangover soup for him, and after he drank it, he laughed and said, "Grandfather drank a lot today, too. He's grown old, and has rarely drunk this much these past two years. It's obvious that he likes you a lot, brother Su."

Su Xingze rubbed his temples, thinking that he had underestimated the importance the Duke Residence placed on Su Rong. He would have to write another letter tomorrow, letting Xiaoqi further consider whether they should indeed break off this engagement.

He put down his hand, glanced at Zhou Gu, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
