Tong An pursed his lips and lowered his head even more.
"Miss, I'm just a servant…" he said. "Miss Shen is young and beautiful. She's also literate and knows embroidery. She's very capable. Someone like her can find someone better. Why should she follow an old man like me who has married before?"
Old man???
Gu Yundong rubbed his forehead, but Tong An was also considering the reality.
If Shen Sitian married Tong An, wouldn't she become a servant of the Gu family?
"What about now? If you beg to marry her now, won't these problems cease to exist?"
"Yes," Tong An said. "But a person's life is only so short. Miss Shen is very good. I think, I want to be selfish for once."
Tong An indeed wanted to suppress his feelings, but some emotions were not under his control at all.
Previously, when he was injured, Shen Sitian had taken care of him for a few days. Who could not tell what she meant?
