A crisp sound echoed, and a handprint appeared on the former’s face.
"You bastard, it’s one thing to fool around with women, but why choose a married one? Do you know how much you’ll lose by not marrying Wan Yuwei?!"
Hou Haoyu covered his face, feeling quite aggrieved.

"Obviously, you blacked out from drinking! You overestimated yourself without knowing your limits, and now the whole county knows your scandal. Let’s see how you clean up this mess."
"Uncle, what should I do now? You have to think of a solution for me."
"You idiot, you screw things up more than you accomplish. What can I possibly do? Our Beihuang political scene is going to be in turmoil, all because of the mess you’ve made. Get out of my sight—I don’t want to see you anymore!"
