The trees in the garden swayed gently, bringing about a cooling breeze.
Pei Ziheng's voice was heavy. "That's a long time later."
Nanny Zhou was anxious. "How long later could it be? Five years or ten years? Sir, that's the best time for a girl. If you can't promise her, then don't hurt her."
"Hurt?" Pei Ziheng sneered coldly. "Nanny Zhou, what do you mean by hurt? If I walk in now and tell her to break up, wouldn't it be hurting her?"
Nanny Zhou was silent. Things had already happened, and it was difficult to retrieve spilled milk.
Pei Ziheng said again, "What's wrong with her following me? I can give her the best material security. I can love her for a lifetime and let her have children at the right time. Besides status, she can have everything."
Nanny Zhou's heart trembled and she whispered, "A lifetime?"
Pei Ziheng said, "A lifetime."
