Jian Rui exhaled slowly. "Fine."
He didn't like these conditions at all. He negotiated wanting the relationship to be private but lord Leung couldn't wait to spread it all around that Jian Ci was a scumbag who imprinted to his daughter by force and deserted her. Jian Rui had no choice but to agree.
He left the estate with a bitter taste in his mouth. But the moment he entered the hovercar, another summons awaited him.

The palace was colder than usual.
