Pei Yuan felt a wave of shame and indignation. Who would be so blunt right from the start?
Before Zhao Xiaochen arrived, Landlord Zhao had briefed him on the detailed circumstances and Pei Yuan's situation. His family also thought well of her, and since he was already interested, he found Pei Yuan quite to his liking and naturally had no objections. Besides, he was straightforward and not very eloquent, used to being in the guardhouse where interactions were mostly with rough men, so he tended to speak more directly.
Even Landlord Zhao couldn't help but want to give him a disapproving look. Who talks like that as soon as they arrive?
Seeing that he was being signaled, Zhao Xiaochen realized his words were inappropriate and quickly apologized, "That… I'm sorry for what I just said."
