Chapter 473: Even Became a Father (7)_1
Pei Yuan felt a wave of shame and indignation. Who would be so blunt right from the start?
Before Zhao Xiaochen arrived, Landlord Zhao had briefed him on the detailed circumstances and Pei Yuan’s situation. His family also thought well of her, and since he was already interested, he found Pei Yuan quite to his liking and naturally had no objections. Besides, he was straightforward and not very eloquent, used to being in the guardhouse where interactions were mostly with rough men, so he tended to speak more directly.
Even Landlord Zhao couldn’t help but want to give him a disapproving look. Who talks like that as soon as they arrive?
Seeing that he was being signaled, Zhao Xiaochen realized his words were inappropriate and quickly apologized, "That... I’m sorry for what I just said."
"Mm." Pei Yuan responded, eager to leave. However, her elder sister had mentioned that this family was in good standing and that if the person was decent, she should learn more about him to determine if he’s someone she could spend her life with. She advised her to be prudent, so Pei Yuan endured her blushing and stood aside without leaving.
Zhao Xiaochen lowered his voice and asked, "Does your nose still hurt?"
Pei Yuan shook her head.
Zhao Xiaochen laughed, "Although we are just soldiers in the guardhouse, sometimes we have to train in armor. A bump in that situation would really be painful."
