Wen Zhao Huang’s eyes grew redder and redder, and his hands clawed desperately at Su Tang’s body.

“Get away—”

Su Tang raised her hand, the bronze hairpin in her palm glinting sharply in the candlelight.

“Yan Xiaoxiao, don’t be angry. I’m not here to find you a psychologist,” Jin Guangyan stammered in explanation.

“You could resign and return home back then; is it harder now than then?” Although she still didn’t understand why her father had resigned at the height of his career, back then both family and outsiders had opposed him.
