121 Pavilion in the Lake

Master Nan's expression hardened. All men wanted their dignity, and would not like anybody to see their embarrassing side, especially when girls rejected them. Yet Fourth Uncle was insensitive enough to not only have watched the whole scene but to also mention it in his face. Was this not clearly an attempt to mock him!

He glared at Fourth Uncle in a fit of anger.

Fourth Uncle got a shock, Master Nan must have gotten angry with him. They had had business dealings for years, and he knew Master Nan's temperament better than anyone else. He looked chivalrous and prim on the outside but was, in fact, a ruthless scum. It was not good news to be in his bad books.

Fourth Uncle cursed at Xia Ling in his head once more before an idea came to mind. "Master Nan, I have an idea that'll help you get hold of her."

He whispered something into Master Nan's ear.
