'It wasn't Shi Xiu who was unguarded against me, I'm the one who was unguarded against her,' Lan Long thought before correcting himself, 'No, Shi Xiu wasn't guarded against me. I was the one who got careless.'
No one paid attention to Lan Long. In fact, the Shi family didn't even come over to kick him when he was down, because... there was no need for that!
