"I didn't mean to offend you, shenshen," Zhou Yongliang replied. "I don't want to believe in anyone so easily after my uncle betrayed my trust, especially if that person is too nice toward me."
Zhou Yongliang didn't let his guard down. Even though the woman displayed such a miserable expression on her face, he didn't want to give in so easily. He didn't want to get hurt twice.
