Chapter 176
So stared at Peg with a dazed look, as if her sudden outburst had startled him or left him lost in thought.
After saying this, Peg calmed down little by little. She looked at So, seeming to realize what she had said, and after a moment of confusion, she quickly looked away.
"What did you say? Say it again," So asked after a pause.
Peg pressed her lips together and stayed quiet.
"Why are you upset?" When Peg didn't respond, So stood up, grabbed her shoulders, and asked once more.
Peg still kept her eyes down and didn't say a word.
So grew worried. He shook her shoulders and said, "Peg, tell me, why are you upset? Do you care about me?"
He had truly tried to use Fu to get a reaction from Peg, but when she showed nothing, he had given up.
So began to feel hopeless, even ignoring what Fu did as long as she didn't hurt Peg.
However, hearing Peg's words made him feel like he was alive again.
Peg looked up at So. How could she not be hurt?
