Zhu Guanliang almost instantly lost face, ”Who did the general learn from? ”Although I've been fined a year's salary, I don't need to tell you that I need to go somewhere and earn money to support your family, do I?”

Hearing his dissatisfied tone, Zhou Leping coughed twice, ”I just can't think of a way to repay you for saving my life. After tossing and turning, I finally thought of this method, you can see it for yourself first, and if you don't fancy it, you can reject it.

”There's no need for you to repay me. The general has already done so.”

”Did I repay you? ”When?”

”You forgot so quickly?” He steadied himself on the table and lunged toward her. ”The General was not impressed by what happened that day?”

Zhou Leping's face flushed uncontrollably red as he moved the chair back and sat down. ”Don't bring up that matter anymore, Zhu Guanliang, I … I can't think why you did that. Just toying with me? ”What good is it to you if you mess with me?”

He looked at her embarrassed appearance as if he was very happy. His expression softened a lot, ”How could I dare to play with the general, it's just that …”

Even he himself had not thought of a good reason and excuse to do so, and after saying half a sentence, Zhou Leping still felt embarrassed for him.

”Okay, it's not that I want to blame you, but this is only this one time. If you continue to play around with me in the future, I will not let you get away with it.” Her voice suddenly turned listless and aged, as if she was a mother who hated girls for not marrying her. ”We'll meet tomorrow at Tai Qing Restaurant at least.”

Zhu Guanliang sat back down with his head held high, ”Prince Rui's taste is indeed good, but that's not what I want.”

”Then what do you want?”

He tapped his fingertips on the table, thought for a while, and said, ”General, if you really want to repay me that much, you can agree to a condition.”

”What condition?”

”I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell the general when I think about it.”

Zhou Leping was afraid that he would trick her, so she added another condition in front, ”I can agree to it if you want me to, but the condition is that I can't go overboard.”

He drank in frustration. ”That's boring.”

Zhou Leping reasoned, ”Why is it meaningless? Then what if you want me to help you kill and set fire to them? Even if I have to repay him, I still have to keep my bottom line. ”

”Alright.” He happily agreed, ”Then it's a deal.”

He never thought that it would actually be so simple, so simple that Zhou Leping felt that it was somewhat unreal.

Because of Zhu Guanliang's strong refusal, the matter of the blind date could only be put off for a while. Unfortunately, he didn't want to see a single one of the many beautiful and virtuous women that Zhao Deng had called upon.

Zhou Leping didn't really pay the price, but since she had agreed to Zhu Guanliang's illusory condition, she couldn't help but feel uneasy in her heart. As long as he didn't mention this condition, it made it seem as if her heart wouldn't be able to rest for a day.

After a few days of peace and quiet, she had gradually forgotten about this matter.

Only a little, and it became even quieter than before. Sometimes, when she stared at Qu Tan, she would immediately cry, and when she was sent to find Zhu Guanliang, she would also start crying after a while. Xiao Wan, on the other hand, was still the same.

For such a young child, losing her father and mother would indeed be a pity, but Zhou Leping also couldn't think of a better way to help her resolve her grief. He could only get some people to gather more toys for her to distract her.
