Hearing Yan Ling ask, Qi Yunjue fell silent for a few seconds, as he pondered over how to be honest with her.
However, Yan Ling suddenly lowered her voice and leaned in to whisper into his ear, "Have you ever been involved with gangs in the past?"
After much thought, Yan Ling felt this was the most likely possibility.
Du Rusheng had called him Lord Qi and treated him with great respect.
Plus, he radiated an innate sense of nobility that immediately singled him out from the crowd.
Unless, he had some secret sadness he couldn't voice.
Or perhaps... he had a shady past.
Otherwise, he would never have ended up unemployed and unable to support even a child.
Qi Yunjue, who had initially planned to explain, was all of a sudden clueless about how to begin.
Yan Ling noticed that he was not responding, so she continued on her own, "Don't worry, I don't care about your past. I just want to know if you have dealt with everything cleanly…"
