Chapter 473: Choice 9_1
"No! Brother! I’m not compromising, I don’t feel hard done by. Brother, being able to marry you, I’m really happy!" Zhilan quickly shook her head, her heart felt a wave of panic. This version of He Teng, compared to the one who snapped at her, scared her even more.
"Zhilan, if you really feel that way, then don’t go to the Gu family patriarch’s birthday banquet. It’s not a place for us.
