Meg smiled and said, “Miss Laura hasn’t gotten married. Have you already started planning for the Buda clan? Isn’t the Young Miss getting anxious about this marriage?”
When they heard those words, Green and Quinn John both smiled.
Laura’s face reddened. She stared at Meg and said, “Hmph, you’re talking nonsense. I won’t let Brother Hai marry you.”
Meg’s face also reddened. She hadn’t thought Laura would unexpectedly see through her thoughts. Zhao Hai also didn’t think Laura would tease Meg like that and it made him embarrassed. He glanced at Green and said, “Grandpa Green, Grandpa Quinn John, everyone can leave first. I wish to talk to Laura alone.”
Green and Quinn John looked at each other simultaneously and both saw a happy expression on the other’s face as they turned and left. Zhao Hai and Laura were thus left alone in the room.
This was the first time Laura was alone with Zhao Hai. She was somewhat anxious as she looked at Zhao Hai; she didn’t know what Zhao Hai wanted to say.
Zhao Hai had an infatuated expression as he looked at Laura, which made her heart beat faster. After some time, Zhao Hai said, “Laura, do you hate me?”
Laura was surprised. She didn’t understand what Zhao Hai meant. They were now engaged, so how could he suddenly speak about hate?”
When he saw Laura’s puzzled look, Zhao Hai sighed and said, “If I didn’t appear, these matters wouldn’t have happened. You won’t be compelled to leave Casa City, to leave the Aksu Empire. You wouldn’t need to give up everything. Are you not angry?
“Earlier, you were right when you said I’d marry Meg in the future. We grew up together and she was beside me, taking care of me during the toughest time of my life. I won’t deny I have passionate feelings for Meg, but I also love you. Making me give up either of you is something I cannot do. Am I too greedy?”
