Zhao Yiqiu looked down at Gu Chaoyan.
He was showing no expression and was about to listen to what she was about to say.
Gu Chaoyan was hesitating, but she still spoke. "Mr. Zhao, are you afraid of me?"
Zhao Yiqiu felt shocked. He looked at Gu Chaoyan's face.
He suddenly remembered that she was just a girl that recently became an adult, one that had no mother and a father who hated her and drove her out of the family directly. She was already scared by what had happened to her, and he probably should not give her too much stress at the moment.
Huaijin was Shuang's child and he did have preference inwardly. He did not want Huaijin to get hurt, that was why he asked her, but he had never thought about being afraid of her.
Lady Chaoyan was calm, but she was still a child, younger than Huaijin, young enough to be his own daughter.
Zhao Yiqiu, for the very first time, started to feel some guilt inwardly.
