"Wait a moment."
Shrugging off Fan Yuer's tugging, Zi Liyuan turned towards Shen Yurou, who was looking at him with displeasure.
"Xiao Yurou, do well in your exam tomorrow. I'm off to handle some private matters.
In the next few days, you should also take care of your personal affairs and then continue studying that metal lizard.
Once I've dealt with my private matters, we'll go to Dragon Academy together for the assessment."
Feeling guilty was out of the question. In the Great Xia Empire, which capable man didn't have three wives and four concubines? Which woman didn't have three husbands and four admirers?
Besides, he was merely recruiting a woman with great potential as a subordinate...
Having said his piece, he patted Shen Yurou's smooth and delicate shoulder, then turned and walked away with Fan Yuer without a hint of hesitation.
...
White Crane City, the Eastern District.
