Although the metaphor isn't very flattering, it seemed to reflect the reality...
When was the boss ever so gentle in his words!
Treatment for brothers is indeed different...
Yet, Bei Yunhuan didn't feel any joy at Lan Xiu's 'gentleness'.
His gaze was as sharp as a knife, watching Lan Xiu without blinking.
"Apparently, women now supersede your brothers in your heart. Once you're in, you need to be more careful."
There was an underlying meaning in what he said, which Lan Xiu understood.
That's true, isn't it? Exposing one's weakness to the public would call for caution.
His eyes, seemingly enchanted, blinked slowly, revealing a languid charm.
"You're really thoughtful, reminding me even at this time. But, remember me from childhood to adulthood, was there anything I feared?"
Bei Yunhuan looked at his nonchalant attitude and felt more puzzled.
"Even if you don't care about these things, do you not think it's a loss to repay a debt of life with a woman?"
