Chapter 77 – The Duke’s Heir vs Abandoned Woman’s Counterattack (17)

She did not know whether he appeared to be unreliable on purpose or not. No matter what he said, Gu Shengyin made fun of him.

For example, at this moment.

The Demon King said: “So many sharks are thinking about you. How could I possibly tolerate it?”

Gu Shengyin’s response was to ignore this sentence.

The Demon King became anxious.

“Veronica!” A bright colorful figure appeared in Gu Shengyin’s view. Joanna sat down besides her.

Now, Joanna had also grown into a young woman. She was tall and different Gu Shengyin’s delicate features. Her facial features were bright and colorful. Her whole person was like a blooming red plum and there were also many followers behind her.

Joanna’s attitude towards Gu Shengyin had changed a lot since she was rescued from the mouth of the magic beast 3 years ago.

Although her mouth was as rich as before, Gu Shengyin was able to feel the goodwill that Joanna revealed.

Joanna enviously looked at Gu Shengyin, who was leisurely arranging her fruit. “I really envy you. You’re the only heir to the Duke’s house. You would never have troubles.”

Gu Shengyin understood what Joanna was feeling.

She was the youngest daughter of the Imperial Finance Minister and was extremely favored at home. The children of noble families had enjoyed the family’s brocade garments and jade meals since childhood. However, when necessary, they also needed to contribute to the family.

For example, marriage.

Joanna’s eyes seemed a bit disheartened at the moment: “The family has already made a decision. If I can’t get the Second Prince’s heart by next year, I must choose one of the noble young men to be my husband.”
