Chapter 1286 - 1305: The Truth
"Of course, I remember! But what does this have to do with Wei Qin liking me?"
"Of course, it does. Think about it, with the security of the Wei Family, do you really think you could have been so stealthy? The moment I climbed over the wall with you, I noticed that we had already been discovered."
Fu Xinwu’s face turned pale and then flushed as he awkwardly asked, "Are you saying Wei Qin has known all this time about me sneaking over walls?"
Nan Fei nodded decisively.
"It’s over! I’m so embarrassed, how can I face him now? My reputation will be ruined, and how will I ever hold my head up in Imperial City?" The more Fu Xinwu thought about it, the more humiliated he felt, wishing he could just disappear into a crack in the ground.
"Actually, it’s not a big deal at all! Where’s the shame? No shame whatsoever, it’s your uncle who’s truly embarrassing," Nan Fei tried to console him with a mix of laughter and tears.
"Really? My uncle is even more embarrassing than me?"
"Yep!" Nan Fei nodded decisively again, "That’s right! He not only climbs walls but also scales windows."
Hearing this, Fu Xinwu burst into laughter, beaming with glee, and chuckled, "Knowing that I’m not the only one comforts me. At least I have my uncle to back me up!"
"..." Nan Fei commented with a deep sigh, "It really does run in the family, doesn’t it!"
"But this still doesn’t prove that Wei Qin likes me!" Fu Xinwu was utterly lacking in self-confidence. Despite her good background, she definitely wasn’t conceited or egotistical. "The reason Wei Qin turns a blind eye could be out of respect for my uncle. I heard they’ve been close since childhood, and my uncle can get new weapons that others can’t. With such a solid relationship, he would at least save me some face."
