Mrs. Ning's body turned stiff!
"What does the General mean by this?!"
"I am simply laying bare my sincere feelings before you, madam. If you think that someone like me is worthy of entrusting Miss Fu to, then please accept my request. If you deem me unworthy, then I shall wait until you find me so."
Mrs. Ning tightly clenched her ten fingers, as if a storm was raging within her chest, causing her breath to be uneven.
After a while, she looked at the box and asked, "Was it she who informed you of this suspicion?"
"No one informed me. When you harbor someone in your heart, even among a crowd of thousands, you will always spot her with one glance. I merely thought, madam, that since you love Miss Fu deeply, you might have similar feelings."
Mrs. Ning's eyes reddened, and she sat down on a chair.
Sitting dazed for a moment, she took a deep breath and wiped her eyes, saying, "Sit, let's talk."
Pei Zhan then took the seat below her.
